Poor old aged and stereotyped educators!


I am deeply concerned about the educators who have been in the field for more than enough years and feel that the teaching strategies that they used are still applicable to date.Right now SA policy on e-Education is expecting that all the citizens of this country should be ICT capable and yet such educators are still holding on to what they believe in. The sad part of it is that they fail innocent learners and are not easily convinced to transform their ways of teaching. Young educators like myself are being accused of acting as if they know a lot when trying to bring change to the system. ICT solution to teaching and learning seem to be a great challenge to them and as a matter of fact those old aged educators are frustrating the educators who are in for change.

Conducive ICT learning millieu


It is the task of the educator to ensure that she creates an atmosphere which is conducive to learning for his or her ICT learners. When such an atmosphere is created then automatically learners will enjoy whatever kind of activity that they are confronted with and would even feel inspired to want to know more in as far as the learning programme is concerned.
