  Teaching and Learning should not be limited to the physical classrooms! Teachers should continue doing their work and earn, even during a pandemic. Which enabling internet tools are available for teachers? How can teachers use them to connect with learners? How can teachers use them to position themselves for online opportunities during the pandemic period and beyond? Although online teaching has been encouraged for many years as a key trend of the 21st century, the COVID-19 pandemic has promoted it on a large scale. During the pandemic, students at all levels are unable to attend school due to lockdowns, and are looking online. As a teacher, how are you responding to the increased demand? Have you acquired the required skills for online teaching?  While this might seem a daunting task, there are several ways teachers can utilize the technology and resources already available to support online learning and still earn a leaving from their knowledge and services as teachers.   Today I

Walking by Faith, Not by Sight We walk by faith , not by sight . . . while we do not look at the things which are seen , but at the things which are not seen . (2 Corinthians 5:7; 4:18 ) The Christian life is a walk. It is comprised of day by day steps from where we are to where the Lord wants us to go (both spiritually and geographically). This walk is undertaken by faith , not by sight . " We walk by faith , not by sight ." Walking by sight is the natural manner by which human beings walk. This is true both for literal walking, as well as for taking the proverbial journey through life. When engaged in physical walking, people rely upon visual data (along with input from other human senses: like sound, smell, and touch). Likewise, as the unredeemed are engaged in their trek through life, they set their course and proceed by that which their natural abilities provide. We who know the Lord Jesus Christ cannot walk in this manner in His kingdom. We must

Since November 1st 2016 when Makerere University was closed following a directive by Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni in response to the university teaching staff strike and violent protests by students, many people have suffered and continue to count losses every single day the university remains closed. The immediate suffering was experienced by the students themselves who were given hours to vacate the university premises and go back home. Most of the students didn’t have transport to go back home. The Uganda police offered to accommodate some as they mobilized money from relatives and friends, while others found places to stay in town. Many students are still waiting within Kampala and there are reports of some students who didn’t go back home involving themselves in risky activities such as prostitution during this time of waiting for the university’s reopening. Many students who reside in private hostels around the university had paid rent fees for the entire four-month semes

While ICT continues to advance in Uganda where it has penetrated many sectors including banking, and communications, the Ugandan educational system still to lags behind. Recently, The N ational Curriculum Development Centre (NCDC) introduced Subsidiary ICT at A’Level and Computer use in Uganda classrooms is still in its early phases. I have taught computer studies at O level since 2009. In this article I share some of the challenges I have observed facing implementation of computer education in Uganda. They are: 1. Lack of qualified teachers to teach ICT in schools; The demand for ICT learning has been tremendous and the number of teachers who are trained to teach ICT cannot meet the demand. There are more students willing to be taught computing skills than there are teachers to transfer the skills. And with the new subsidiary ICT introduced at A’ level, the situation is very worse! 2. Lack of computers; Computers are still very expensive and despite spirited efforts by the governmen
