A little bit about me (from his www.techteachers.co.za site)

I am Computer Applications Technology teacher. CAT is a subject I am very passionate about and I thoroughly enjoy teaching it. I have won awards and been to many prestigious events as a speaker and guest.

I received the Microsoft Innovative Educator nomination from Microsoft and am also a Microsoft Innovative Educator Expert since 2016. I won the Tech Teacher of Year in 2015 at the ISPA SuperTeacher competition and am a finalist in the 2018 competition. I am a sub-examiner and Chief marker for Grade 12 C.A.T. I was also the Gauteng Regional and the National C.A.T. Moderator for the IEB for 2016 and 2017.

I also enjoy playing drums when I get the chance and used to teach drumming professionally. I have an interest in West African and contemporary percussion and played professionally overseas for a few years.
