Outcomes vs objectives of the workshop
 * 1) Teachers were introduced to the block level programme
 * 2) Introduction to ICT skills and KOER was limited – KOER was limited to demonstration of textbooks
 * 3) There was a lesson based introduction to Geogebra but limited practice time
 * 4) The problem solving discussion was felt to be useful by most teachers but extending it and integrating with classroom lessons is a challenge
