E-learning is the next stop in Kenya and as teachers  we need to hone our ICT skills and prepare to embrace the change. Yes, it is time for teachers and schools to focus on e-learning to embrace technology in the global education sector. Let us not be left out in this innovation. I believe teachers with ICT skills and knowhow will take the lead.

Parents shun ICT learning

Parents from some schools in Kenya (and probably some other parts in East Africa)seem ignorant of the potential of ICT in driving the economy. I bet we have alot to do if ICT integration is to make headway for the whole of East Africa. What's your take on this?

Building learning communities in schools using ICT

Podcasting

Architecture and design at work! The petrol station provides gas to motorists using this road or living here. The elegant building at the background depicts that a high class/ affluent community lives around here. The green trees show that the area receives adequate rains, or the residents probably irrigate them. The environment is kept neat and makes the surrounding of this building to appear quite beautiful. The local people who build such units have not been formally trained but have acquired the skill through working with specialist expartiates who come from other parts of the world. Eventually the local people gain experince, and make money from the paid employment which improves the way they live.

Business is the main economic activity in this photograph. The cyclist at the foreground could have dropped a customer to buy some vegetables or clothes in this open air market. The wooden foot bypasses from the road to the market provide a link to the stalls and shops at the background, though safety seems to be compromised since people crossing from either side can fall into the open drainage! Seemingly space is precious and every inch seems to count!! Eventually the residential areas get squeezed and overcrowded, having a negative impact on the way they live.
