First Assignment and Beyond........

The First Assignment has been sent and I feel as though a load has been taken off of my shoulders!!!! Going through the various activities was fun but it got a bit confusing after activity 3, but thank God I had a tutor who was patient and well able to dispel any fuzziness. :)

This course is making me think!!! To think of using the knowledge I have to develop creative ways of delivering the curriculum to our students. One major difficult I face is not being in a classroom and having to have another teacher use the material that I have developed as his/her own. However, I have found a willing and capable teacher to deliver my lessons.

With regards to technology I am focusing on the Form 1s and 2s because they have their laptops, otherwise difficulties will arise due to the large class size (32 to 37 students) and the insufficient number of computers in the computer lab. Repairs of lab computers are difficult because ICTD has made it almost impossible to purchase parts to repair said computers and down time is high for some months of the term. Please Help Us!!! However, I look forward for positive interaction with ICTD to assist schools in fast tracking the purchase of computer equipment in order to facilitate ICT integration in schools.

I look forward to preparing many more lessons that require the use of ICT in the classroom and hope that the staff in general will come on board with ICT integration. Many of our teachers use the technology, but insufficient multimedia projectors etc. create logistic challenges, which I believe can be minimised with careful brainstorming and teacher support.

I am particularly grateful for the positive feedback I am getting from my fellow classmates as this motivates me to continue on!!!

Thank you fellow students! I truly appreciate any comment and/or feedback.

Learning Is Fun!!
