My name is Jacques. I am a teacher in Pretoria at The Glen High School. I run the Maths Department and am Acting Deputy Principal at the moment. I started with my B Ed Honours last year and will be doing the Online Teaching and Learning specialism this year. My school is an ex-Model C school situated next to Menlyn Park shopping centre. We attract children from all walks of life.
I received my teaching qualification from Wits in 1988 and have now decided that stuyding further would give the brain something else to do. Online teaching is another facet of education, seeing that children are wired differently nowadays. Schools that have technology at their disposal, where the Governing Body is prepared to spend the capital, should make the leap into cyberspace and embrace what the students are exposed to everyday.
I play tennis in my spare time.
