\u201cGive a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime<\/em>.\u201d \u2013 Chinese Proverb<\/strong><\/p>\n

In approximately 30 hours stretched across five days, Autodesk volunteers taught educators at Makupula High School how to transform their classrooms using 21st<\/sup> century education techniques. The result of time spent together was impressive, and so we celebrated!<\/p>\n

\"3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The goal of this project is to arm the educators of Makupula High School with new teaching methods and provide them with an expanded toolkit of resources to use with their learners. In their words, \u201cAutodesk & Team4Tech gave us the skills and tools to fish for a lifetime.\u201d<\/p>\n

Read what the educators had to say about their experiences:<\/p>\n

\u201cThis training will encourage me, to encourage them (the learners), to work hands on.\u201d<\/em> \u2013 Esther<\/p>\n

\u201cWe fight for our learners\u2019 attention, always telling them to take the ear phones out of their ears. They are discouraged by the textbooks. With this experience, we can speak a different language\u2014a language they understand. We can now show them (via picture and videos) what we are teaching them.\u201d<\/em> \u2013 Bulisa<\/p>\n

\u201cThe integration between the learning methods and introduction of the 4 \u201cC\u2019s\u201d was excellent. Although it was a steep learning curve at the beginning of the week, I now feel comfortable integrating technology and new teaching methods into my classroom.\u201d<\/em> \u2013 Ziyanda<\/p>\n

\"2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cBeing a teacher means lifelong learning, so for us this training was useful. I especially liked how it accommodated everyone regardless of level.\u201d<\/em> \u2013 Linda<\/p>\n

\u201cTeaching with technology is the sort of thing you always fear. I was nervous and doubting myself. We started on Monday and the training went very well for me. Things changed for me when the content connected to what we can actually do in class.\u201d\u2014 <\/em>Chewu<\/p>\n

\u201cI will now focus on learner-centered teaching methods, which means always engaging the student and having them learn by exploring.\u201d<\/em> \u2013 KK<\/p>\n
