Online Tools for Teachers during the lockdown and beyond

 

Mukalele Rogers using a Laptop

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 was honored to make a presentation to teachers attending the Digital Skilling Training for Teachers by Africa Code Week Uganda. I posed a question to the teachers and asked them to share experiences on the tools available for teachers. Watch the recording below.


I also pose the same question here. Which tools are available for teachers online?

MAHTMA GANDHI, MARTIN LUTHER AND MANDELA ACHIEVED MUCH PEACEFULLY THAN THOSE WHO ATTEMPTED TO ACHIEVE THE SAME THROUGH VIOLENCE!

Non-violence, truth, inspiration and great leadership qualities are what come to our mind when we hear Mahatma Gandhi’s name. His determinations were strong and ideas firm enough to reach his ultimate goal. He left his successful career of a lawyer to participate in the long chase for Independence along with other freedom fighters Innovation:  Non-violence probably was one of the greatest innovations of Mahatma Gandhi. I don’t think history has any track records of any freedom fighter or any country winning the battle of independence using the weapon of non-violence. But Gandhi was the only leader to make use of non-violence successfully to win a battle. His Dandi March was a successful effort where he used his weapon of non-violence. Simplicity: I do not think history can ever produce a simple man like Mahatma Gandhi. Being such a great leader his way of living, teaching, books and even his quotes were very simple. His simplicity reflects in his ideas and way of living. Simpl

TEN CHALLENGES FACING IMPLEMENTATION OF ICT EDUCATION IN UGANDAN SCHOOLS

Image
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
