TODAY, 24 May 20011, the Language Educators of Bernadino Heights Secondary School committed themselves to testing the iPad2 device in a reading Pilot project. 3 Educators, [S. Cupido, M. Rhoda and A. Jefftha] volunteered to champion the project and spearhead the initiative. 
We decided to select the following learners for a special reading club:
1. 4 learners per grade which comprises of 2 per language [Afrikaans and English]
2. We will Focus on Grades 8-11
3. Several learners expressed interest in Journalism for future studies. These will also be considered
4. These learners will be introduced to the Project on Monday 30 May 2011.
A series of workshops and training sessions will be conducted on Monday afternoons. Book reviews, Blogging, Interviews and Reporting are some of the areas that will be covered initially. An online magazine is considered to be a long term goal.
All the Language educators will be involved. Eventually the iPad will be introduced into the reading lessons as part of group activities. This is real pioneer work for all of us and we welcome your suggestions and comments.
