KZN Media Teachers meeting

On Saturday 15 September, the KZN Media Teachers Association met at Glenwood Preparatory School in Durban. We were addressed by Professor Lilli Pretorious who spoke to us about the importance of reading, and the facts were startling. Unless we can increase the reading ages of our learners, they will really find studying difficult. Getting children to read is our number one priority.

We were then treated to an informative talk by Saragh Parfitt, who discussed how she went about selecting childrens books for exclusive books,and much of what she said applies to media teachers selecting books for schools. She introduced us to a few new books which looked very interesting, and I will get these titles to you shortly on this blog.

I was so pleased to meet so many teachers who are using my media workbooks, and would like to thank you for your words of encouragement. Please continue to correspond with me using my e-mail address. Your input is invaluable.

For those teachers living in KZN, support the KZN Media Teachers Association's website on http://www.kznmta.org.za/ by informing them of your views, and lets make this association the best in the country.
