EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY

IMPROVED EDUCATIONAL SERVICES THROUGH THE USE ICT Abstract A study was conducted in Kenya being a developing country to evaluate the use of information and technology in high schools and teacher colleges. As the part of that study we established how ICT has improved educational services. This article explores a number of ways in which information and communications technologies (ICT) have been incorporated and integrated in a teacher education program in order to extend opportunities for students to interact with ICT as part of their preparation for becoming early childhood professionals. It describes three examples where ICT have been utilized in different contexts to promote understanding of the implications of technologies in educational settings, to engage students with powerful conceptual ideas and as a means of communication between students on campus and those in remote areas. The examples reveal that both undergraduate and graduate students indicated that they were at a novic...

SELF MADE KING WHO HAS LEAD HIS MONARCH TO ANARCHY AND PARIAH

Image
His “majesty ‘ king Robert Gabriel “Bob “ Mugabe of southern Rhodesia “Monarch “commonly known as Zimbabwe should consider his blatant and reckless utterances before the world retaliate on him and bring him down and his kingdom tumbling. King Robert was among the enigmatic continental statesman who has been cherished for liberating southern Rhodesia from colonial rule. The Jesuit educated intellectual had lead a protracted guerrilla war against Britons in Zimbabwe. Today the blatant self styled king has become an international pariah and his monarch is still enjoying patronage privileges of an oriental despot. The founding father of southern Rhodesia has turned against the will of his people and is trying all means to remain at helm of power till he dies. Today Zimbabwe has become Mugabe’s absolute monarch and Zimbabweans have been held at ransom. Ten years ago New Africa magazine based in London voted Mugabe as most popular African leader ,today the queen of Britain is shamelessly ...

THE GREEN CONVECTION STATUS OF MIND

Image
For those of us who have seen it coming right from the quest for multi party democracy in early 90's to this date,we need not to be reminded where we've come from. It was journey that some of us got lost behind, and when the battle got sour and dread a lot of us wept and moaned, we was like the lost children of Israel searching to be flee in this East Africa world region. As a teenage i saw grown men cry, battled and bruised but they couldn't kill their spirit. We’ve all been fighting for a noble cause; let no man enthuse in our kindness. The proponents of the draft constitution should concede a defeat, how dare are they to reduce the quest for draft to witch hunting .Timeless in case we never been acquainted, mindless violence, we are still letting them paint it in our society. The NO proponents dwell on the chauvinism of making extraterrestrial life in our own image. If they want us to belief what they are telling us is true, they ought to have advocated for that when ...

RATIONAL PESSIMIST

Image
I am writing this irate note to urge you all citizen of good will shun this rational pessimist as he try to purse his egotistic agenda.   The former president discordant and bigoted attitude towards the proposed constitution leave us with cheer utter and disbelief .The senior citizen however is blindly and obstinately attached to some creed or opinion intolerant towards others. The retired president is traversing the nation campaigning against the draft constitution and we all know the ostensible truth behind his invigorated efforts. It’s therefore apparent that the former   KANU’S linchpin is trying to protect his vested interest on issues that he feels might be subdued to public scrutiny if the draft constitution passes. He is thus trying to pursue his personal interest at the expense of the nation.   The former oriental despot has seemingly voluptuous appetite and zeal towards scheming and orchestrating propaganda.   Our civilization is shifting from science an...

Kenya: the barbaric consequences of capitalism

Image
Until recently Kenya was held up as a glowing example of the success of the free market economy. It was supposed to be a shining example of democracy, a beacon of hope for what Europeans used to call "the dark continent." Now all these dreams lay in ashes. In recent weeks Kenya has been torn asunder by a wave of ethnic and tribal violence that has claimed nearly a thousand lives. Lenin once said that capitalism is horror without end. Kenya is the most ghastly proof of that assertion. This is a nation of approximately 36 million inhabitants, situated on the equator on the East of African coast, with Sudan and Ethiopia to the north, Uganda to the west, Tanzania to the south and the Indian Ocean to the east. To the northeast lies Somalia. The capital, Nairobi, is one of the largest cities in Africa with a population of three million. The average age of the population is only 18. Kenya is blessed with a benign climate and fertile agricultural land, although 70% of the country is ...

GHASTLY WAR LOOMS

Image
You will all agree with me when I say southern Sudan quest to secede is more appealing than compelling. By this I mean the birth of another nation will be seen as the ultimate way to stop war and clear cut way forward to end northern Sudan prejudiced superiority in southern Sudan. President Omar El-Bashir latest comment that Sudan will celebrate the outcome of referendum result if southerner chooses to secede is not a mere equivocal rhetoric but an indication of peace. The same man late last year had precluded the idea of southerner’s secession. During his recent visit to juba, he vowed to consecrate with southerners in their quest for sovereignty. The southerner must however thank the international community for cornering this marauding beast leaving him with no option to oppose the much awaited referendum. In my opinion the international criminal court (ICC) warrant of arrest to the incumbent president have paved way for southerners route to independence. El-bashir have relinquished ...
