ED Seminar

The ED Seminar was from the 4th to the 11th of January, and I had the honor of being an attendee! It was very inspiring to see so many teachers/educators all together in one place. There was lots to learn and plenty of material to read. You should see the book they gave us!!--It's a compilation of the classes plus some supplementary reading. It's a huge book.
I don't have any pictures as they're all on the main camera. But I got to meet lots of wonderful people, teachers from all over Africa. Many of them have years of experience and it was exciting to be able to talk with them and learn from them. The classes were for 2 hours in the morning and 4 in the afternoon. Besides the classes we also did other fun activities. We had a "free store" evening where clothes, shoes, toys, and games were displayed, and people could take what they needed and wanted. Another evening we got to see a few different educational books and material. The organizers displayed everything in an orderly manner and we had people explaining the books and where we could buy them. The last night we had a cocktail evening where everyone was required to come in "nice" evening attire. True to our nature it turned into a dance party and everyone had fun letting loose and swinging to the beat. God bless everyone who made the ED Seminar possible. Big thanks to each one of you and the part you played, big or small.
My prayer is to take home everything I learned from the seminar and put it into practice.
