Introduction
Welcome to this online course – aimed at familiarizing teachers with the interface of IQ Interactive Platform, and how to use the platform for teaching and learning.
IQ Interactive Software for Education is a powerful software for demonstration and teaching, with abundant teaching resources and subject tools. It is compatible with all kinds of interactive equipment, such as interactive whiteboards, interactive flat panel and document camera.

In the 21st century it is expected that South African teachers begin to enhance and extend their existing classroom practices by making use of ICT. This will enable them to make teaching more vibrant and learning more interesting. It will also enable learners to compete in the international arena because modern societies expect them to be able to think critically, solve problems and be creative.
