Blog training


Blogging Training of Trainers

On May 6th, 2012, four staff members at the Lourie Zoranje Community Center proudly received certificates for successfully completing the first ever Training of Trainers (ToT) for blogging in Zoranje.

During the three-day seminar, computer teachers Agenord Alain, Alexis Oberjo, and James Vernelus along with sports teacher Billy Raphael learned how to design and build their own blogs. On the final day of the training, all course participants delivered presentations of their blogs while communicating more about themselves and their interests.

The participants are now ready to lead the next Training of Trainers on blogging and open it up to more members in the Zoranje community based on local demand. 

The concept of the training came into being after teachers in Zoranje began using the Zoranje Community Center and School blog (http://zoranjeschool.blogspot.com/) as part of their computer classes at the Lourie Zoranje Community Center. “I wanted to have students use the blog to learn more about what was going on in their own community and to be proud of programs and events taking place in Zoranje," said computer teacher Agenord Alain, "the blog training has enabled me to now make my own blog and to show my students at the Zoranje elementary school how to do so as well.”
