The My sCool Server team is committed to this cause.

Teacher training to empower them to incorporate ICT as an effective communication medium in their daily lesson plans and interactions with students.

Do you think it is better to train our kids how to befriend the "devil" that is inevitably going to be part of their lives or to risk it till late enough when they are more addiction prone, not knowing what hit them?
