Recently, on the 1-5 April 2019, Nomusa Keninda was nominated by Microsoft South Africa to serve as moderator of 21st Century Lesson Designs in the Microsoft Educator Exchange International Summit in Paris, France. Together with other 8 teachers from South Africa. They are shining stars of Changemakers as described by many.
“For a long time since 2016, I was recognized by Microsoft as Microsoft Innovative Educator Experts and now I am a Microsoft Innovative Educator Fellow which is the highest recognition by Microsoft. Keninda related to us.
Microsoft recognizes teachers who use Microsoft programmes in the classroom for teaching and learning every year. Each year teachers will then be nominated based on their excellent exemplary lesson plans and how often they train or host events that seeks to empower other teachers and learning in ICT skills.
I was fortunate to be afforded such an opportunity to evaluate some of the lesson plans submitted by 300 teachers around the world at the Education Exchange Summit in Paris. I was also allocated a team of six teachers from other countries to guide them as they design their collaborative lesson plan about Paris city. (Two from United States, Greece, Hong Kong, Israel and Costa Rica)
