 * < I am a primary school teacher working mainly as a Technology Integration Facilitator for a NGO that helps teachers integrate technology into their lessons. I also teach Grade 1-8 ICT Technology at The Rock Academy. I am a Google Certified teacher and a Microsoft Innovative Educator.

I love writing, Scrapbooking, playing the piano and flute, finding interesting classroom ideas on the Internet, social networking, collaborating with other teachers, reading, walking and travelling. I also love blogging. I am responsible for my work's blog (http://schoolnetsa.blogspot.com ) and have my own blog as well: @http://fionabeal.blogspot.com ||< I entered the GVC 2014/2015 contest and was really excited, honoured and delighted to be part of the winning team in the primary division. I am entering a Grade 6 class this year. I only have the class for one hour a week in the computer lab, but I am hoping to work closely with the Grade 6 teacher at the school in this project. The class will move to Grade 7 in January 2016 because that is how the South African school year works. Our classes are small - only 8 to 12 students in a class. I still need to take a photo of the class. We are on a mid term break so I won''t see them again till 14 October. In the meantime I'll leave last year's Grade 4 photo here!
