An inspiring day at the RASA Conference

Last Saturday I attended the RASA (Reading Association of South Africa) Conference for teachers which was held at the University of Cape Town. I presented a session entitled “Blogging and social networks as an inspirational tool for teachers”. There were some excellent sessions. I especially enjoyed the report back from Dr Ursula Hoadley on “Current processes of curriculum review; issues identified for language learning”. I loved Lesley Beak’s session on writing for children, and the cherry on the top was Steve Vosloo from the Shuttleworth Foundation’s presentation on fiction writing using cell phones. Wow! I will give a more detailed report back of that in another post.
