Week 7: Podcasting using Audacity

Well, hurricane Gonzalo proved to be an experience to share in class to create an introductory podcast to the lesson.

Audacity a simple to use voice recording and editing software was quite helpful with creating different recordings to use in various parts of lessons.


Week 6: Spreadsheet in Excel

This week was quite interesting as trainees team teach on 'Introduction to Excel' and 'Creating a Gradebook in Excel'.

The facilitator of the course took a backseat as two trainees worked as facilitator's with the rest of the class. For both the Primary and the Secondary Group the facilitator's did an Excellent Job!

We thank them for their guidance.


The spreadsheet experience was one to be remembered!
