PROPOSALS
Information
Increase information among members of the teaching staff about the equipment. The main reason of teachers avoiding computer use is because they ignore the potential contribution of technology in education. Teachers can be informed of proper use of this device through relevant documents about smartboards.
Provide in service training
professional development for technology use should be an integral part of the teaching profession. Just as in service courses are offered by training institutions for teachers, in the same way, training and workshops leading to a certificate must be organised for all teachers. Stakeholders of the education system should support the integration of technology into the curriculum by providing teachers training related to the area of learning in the curriculum.
In the absence of training facilities, workshops with conducted by experts should be held in the school premises, giving teachers the opportunity for a hand on experience. Learning is the way to experience, teachers can learn side by side with their students.(Boss suzie.2008)
Implement a system for equipment maintenance
There must be a regular maintenance of equipments to avoid troubles with computers and computer devices.
Bring innovations to other areas of pedagogy
We cannot fight for the implementation of technology if the curriculum content remains the same for decades. the bulkiness of Certificate of Primary Education leaves very little time to teachers to experiment new things.,
Integration of technology must be coupled with innovations in other areas like Maths and languages. The textbooks should contain a guide for teachers on how to integrate a lesson. A step by step instruction which will help to attain goals must accompany contents of textbooks.
