Mokhudu Cynthia Machaba is an educator at Ngwanamao Primary School, where she is an ICT coordinator, and an over twenty year teaching veteran. She is in the running for the ISPA ChampTeacher 2015 award after submitting a very compelling project with the title of “Using Apps to plan lessons and activities”. With mobile consumers now spending some 85 percent of their time on smartphones using apps, Mokhudu’s project will resonate in a South Africa that has already achieved a 130 percent mobile penetration rate.
She has specifically developed learning materials using apps like OneNote to store and share material. Always one to share acquired knowledge, Mokhudu even provides training to fellow colleagues on how to use different apps in the classroom as well as sharing with peers and seniors.
Mokhudu has always had both a passion for ICT and an inner desire to mentor others. “My passion for ICT started during my college years while I was doing my second year teaching diploma. Since then, I have helped mentor and develop a number of individuals by sharing basic computer literacy with them,” she explains.
“I come from a background were education was not a must-have, especially for girls,” she continues. “The first time I entered a classroom full of children something in me said this is where you belong.” That Mokhudu definitely belongs in the world of teaching and ICT is abundantly clear from her long association with the ISPA SuperTeacher of the Year as a competitor. Not only was she selected as ISPA SuperTeacher of the Year in 2013, she was a runner-up in 2009 and continues to participate in one of South Africa’s leading ICT in education awards.
