OUR INCREDIBLE SPEAKERS:
FRANKIE CILLIERS
HELLO! I am Frankie Cilliers. Some call me a speaker, others call me an entertainer. I consider myself, a little bit crazy. I also put together this amazing event.

NICOLE RENNIE
Teacher Success Champion at Kami [kamiapp.com] Ā Ā
International BDR [kamiapp.com/nicole-r]
Teacher and ICT Integration Specialist, EdTech Coach & Google Certified Trainer. Based in Cape Town, South Africa
Greetings! Iām Nicole Rennie. Iām a Kami Teacher, a Kami Coach, and a Kami Momā¦ and I totally love YELLOW so you may often see me in this colour! I have always been excited by how technology can enhance the way we come to understand things and can make learning accessible to even more than just those physically near a great teacher.
After teaching and authoring content for more than 15 years, I specialised in āStrategic Implementation of ICT in Educationā and became an EdTech Coach. In helping teachers implement different tools, I found thereās just nothing like the all-in-one classroom sidekick, Kami.
Kami so easily transforms the content you want to use in your teaching. As a Kami Teacher Success Champion, I now get to share Kamiās magic with teachers all over the world, everyday! It is my great privilege to walk alongside and encourage teachers – theyāre my favourite people!
I loveĀ supporting teachers that bravely take up opportunities to complement their reputable existing experience and pedagogical knowledge by prioritizing, experiencing and modelling purposeful technology usage.Ā
As a Kami Mom, Iām super grateful for the positive, engaging impact Kami has on my childrenās learning and studying, plus Kami helps me simplify my family admin with painless digital paperwork!
Kami is here to help YOU too!
Some of the future-skills the children we teach need are vastly different now, and so we owe it to them to keep reviewing, refining & recreating educational solutions that not only serve the learning outcomes but that serve to empower and equip them for THEIR future.
Are you tapped into the enhanced engagement, easy habitual collaboration and efficient feedforward and feedback that Kami can bring to your classroom environment?
Let Kami help you support your studentsā learning needs?Ā Let Kami be your classroom sidekick, as you work your classroom magic! Letās Kami – Ā š„ watch the cool video here!Ā
