User:Hcsankar/INTRODUCTION TO MY SITE AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

Hello all  and welcome to my site.

Target groups
This site is really directed to teachers and administrators of the Ministry of Education. ofTrinidad and Tobago.Teachers worldwide can also benefit.

WIKI Background
The WIKI is really a quick and simple way of producing a web site. Teachers would love to create wikis to teach their students. I will also be creating wikis to train teachers  as a substitute to a face-to-face workshop.We will cut travel ,refreshments and print material costs.You will have much more teaching time with your students as we become an online community of learners.Collaboration at its best. I have initiated a project with NOSTT,some Physics teachers and a few Curriculum Officers to learn how to create wikis.

The National Open School of Trinidad and Tobago and WIKIEDUCATOR of Canada have been instrumental in the process. WIKIEDUCATOR is a project of the Commonwealth of Learning. We have also been given the motivation by Ms Dipwatee Maharaj, Director, Curriculum Planning and Development, Ministry of Education.
