Help our Heroes ~ Empowering teachers to integrate technology

South Africa

Limina's online PD courses equip teachers with digital skills to integrate tech into each subject area to transform teaching & learning.

If we want to see innovation in schools, we must get teachers to innovate with tech. Teachers may know how to use technology privately or for admin, but may not know how to integrate it into subject teaching. Our accredited online courses are completed online & equip teachers with subject, pedagogical & integration knowledge to innovate online and offline solutions for their classroom practices.

We should not underestimate the changes needed or how difficult it is for teachers to integrate technologies in practices, materials, beliefs and skills for online and blended learning.

About the innovation

Help our Heroes learn to integrate technology for online learning!

What we do?

At Limina we develop research-based professional development online courses for K-12 teachers that equip them with the knowledge and skills to integrate technologies and design online, distant and blended learning that is subject and grade specific. Our courses model transformative pedagogies, active and reflective learning, and develop digital skills and competencies to enable teachers to create and innovative with technologies.

Why we do it?

If we want to transform teaching, we have to equip teachers with the dispositions to innovate and create, to take risks and experiment with technologies or without it. Teachers are the gatekeepers to change in education. To transform how teaching and learning happens, we need to inspire teachers, ignite their excitement and passion for teaching again and spread this to their learners and colleagues. Excited teachers make for excited learners. We firmly believe that by investing in teachers we are scaling our investment in a positive, brighter future.

Implementation steps

Ordering courses

The Limina Effect NPO partners with government departments, other NGOs, funders, organisations and individuals to bring the highest quality, online professional development from the various Limina online courses to teachers. We don't believe in working in silos but work with our partners and especially the education department to holistically support teachers and schools to transform teaching and learning.

To partner with us, follow these steps:

1) Decide to Help a Hero

2) Contact us and let's get the ball rolling! You can email us at admin@limina.co.za or call at 0027 21 201 7251

3) We take it from there: Once we receive the funds, we contact the relevant education departments or partners to recruit teachers in tech-enabled schools. They help us choose teachers who they can support and follow-up. This holistic model means teachers are supported and hold themselves accountable for the opportunities they receive.

4) Keep up to date with the teachers you sponsor. We keep you informed (if you're keen). We share how your teachers are progressing through their courses and with their permission, share the work they produce with you.
