The Reality of the “ AGE’’

To anyone in the modern world under the age of

20 the PC the internet and the mobile phone are

commonplace and used in all areas of life.

INOORERO UNIVERSITY


Todays Learning Environment The modern world demands an inde-

pendent creative thinker that is innovative and

able to use information for survival and develop-

ment

Availability of resources and tools allows todays

learners to become independent and in-novative

thinkers

INOORERO UNIVERSITY


The Knowledge Economy

The global knowledge economy is trans-forming the nature of the labor market and placing new demands on citizens globally.

The skills required to not only navigate and survive are known as 21st century skills

INOORERO UNIVERSITY


Technology and 21st century skills

Teaching methods need to translate into tools and processes

that educators can use to examine discuss and ultimately

improve the education opportunities they pro-vide to students

INOORERO UNIVERSITY


Government initiatives The Government has put in place an ICT pol-

icy since 2006. Aims to improve the livelihoods of Kenyans

by ensuring the availability of accessible, af-fordable, efficient and reliable ICT services.

The national policy addresses several sec-tions among them being Information tech-nology with the following objectives:

INOORERO UNIVERSITY


ICT And Quality

It outlines the use of ICT’s in schools , colleges

universities and other educational insti-tutions in the

country so as to improve the quality of teaching

and learning.

INOORERO UNIVERSITY


ICT’s can play a significant role in equalizing opportunities

for marginalized groups and communities.

Marginalized Groups

INOORERO UNIVERSITY


Paradox

But the paradox is that for those groups that are

unable to cross the technology divide , ICT’s become yet another means to fur-ther marginalize them.

Yet the presence of technology aided learning would address some of the is-sues

INOORERO UNIVERSITY


How would using Technology help

Pastoralist Commu-nities?

INOORERO UNIVERSITY


Pastoralist Communities

The fundamental challenge of never having

competent teachers and adequate learning

materials will be addressed.

INOORERO UNIVERSITY


Solution? Education has a major role to play in resolving

this problem

INOORERO UNIVERSITY


Inadequate infrastructure( electricity connectivity)

in some parts of the slums and rural ar-eas.

Lack of relevant content for community use.

Poor attitude towards ICT related devel-opment

interventions Lack of coordination among stakehold-

ers.

Challenges

INOORERO UNIVERSITY


Thus…

INOORERO UNIVERSITY


Unless ICT’s become a part of both content creation and delivery to these

groups, the disadvantage will deepen

and development of these marginal-ized

people will suffer.

INOORERO UNIVERSITY


Digital Divide Failure to use ICT’s is itself a result of the digital and knowledge

divide that exists and this causes are deeply embedded in the

complex historical and socio-cultural context of the country.

The implementation of the vision 2030 and the attempt to provide

a lap top per Kenyan child entering primary school is an attempt

to address the paradoxes.

INOORERO UNIVERSITY


The Role of Universities The role of universities is to produce highly skilled labor and research output to meet perceived economic needs Role is added especially during periods of more radical change Building of new institutions of civil society Encouraging and facilitating new cultural values Training and socializing members of the new social elite

INOORERO UNIVERSITY


The Shift In pedagogical paradigm to meet this new

challenge of the type of learner that we call the digital native

The teacher is a digital migrant since she or he belongs to the earlier century and has come into the new century as an adult

INOORERO UNIVERSITY


IUPS IBTMIn an effort to meet the need of qualified teachers living in this area,

International University of Professional Studies(Formerly Inoorero Univ.)

has been involved in the training teachers for the postgraduate Certifica-tion in

ICT Based Teaching and Information management.

INOORERO UNIVERSITY


IUPS IBTM The course offered is IBTM (ICT Based Teaching and Information management). This course is offered to teachers and is designed to

equip teachers and educators with appropriate ICT skills and

competencies and show them how ICT integration can enhance the teaching and learning experience.

INOORERO UNIVERSITY


IUPS IBTM This course is aligned with the UNESCO com-

petency framework for teachers and is developed in

collaboration with the relevant stake holders that is, Ministry of

Education Science and Technology, Kenya In-stitute of

Curriculum Development and the Teachers Service

Commission. The aim of this course is to build the capac-

ity of teachers to enhance quality of learning.

INOORERO UNIVERSITY


Blackout Knowledge of ICT’s in the 21st century is the basis

of innovation and technical development and failure to acquire these skills results in blackout about in innovation and development

INOORERO UNIVERSITY


Off the Ivory Tower The collaboration between IUPS and NGOs’ came from

last year’s humanitarian Partnerships conference where it was clearly understood that the work to be

done

would greatly be enhanced by collaborative efforts be-tween development agencies who are on the ground implementing

programs that mitigate disaster and conflict and the

subsequent challenges of implementing reconstruction of such endangered communities in Rural schools

INOORERO UNIVERSITY


IBTM Reach More than 200 students have gone through the IBTM pro-

gram Some of these teachers come from pastoralist communities

INOORERO UNIVERSITY


The GCSI Maasai Project The special focus towards training these teachers

who come from pastoralist areas is needed as they are most at risk in the digital divide marginalization

INOORERO UNIVERSITY


The place of Training TeachersTeachers benefit the communitiesTeacher student ratio goes one to oneTeachers influence uptake of ICT’s and become custodians Teachers plug into the 21st century peda-gogy

INOORERO UNIVERSITY


Teachers in line and on-line Online communication allow the classroom to open for

24 hrs. a day and accessible to anyone with a connection Offline access to well designed LMS can also support

learning in the event that no internet is available Teachers and learners start to share and collaborate

allowing the learner to contribute to his own learning journey

•Situation : - These regions were purely occupied by the MAASAI community, but because of the superhighway and outsiders who came to occupy these regions, the MAASAI community were displaced and lost their land.

- Now most of them want to settle down, but their educational standards are too low and they don’t have any special skills to make a living.
