Thutong is an online community developed to help and support South African teachers. Its usefulness is dependant on the richness of the interactions between community members.

It is, therefore  essential that community members express their views using the blogs and forums, contribute materials through the upload facility and subscribe to newsletters.

This guide will introduce users, like yourself, to this new way of using a web site. It will  also introduce the various tools available to help you communicate and interact with your online colleagues.

There are basically three ways to contribute to the Thutong Communities:

1] Communicate with members
2] Share your own resources and
3] Download and use other member’s materials.
