COMPUTER-PHOBIA BY TEACHERS

The time of change has come, where we have to integrate technologies in our teaching and learning environment. Most educators are still "allergic to computers, etc" and to integrate these technologies in their teaching and learning.

The question will be: " Are educators still adhering to their old ways of doing things or just afraid of challenges?''

Using of ICT resources to enhance teaching and learning

Today in our teaching and learning environment, learners and teachers carry a cellphone that can be integrated into the curriculum as a tool to enhance teaching and learning.

If schools can draft or draw ICT policy that will drive the integration of these ICT resources in e-learning, e-content,e-portfolio,et cetera.
Question will be:"Who is suppose to integrate ICT resources(Cellphones) to enhance teaching and learning?"

Cellphones at schools

Learners of today carry Cellphones to school: they play music, watch video clips, send messages or collaborate with others learners using (Mixit,twitter, et cetera), browser in the internet and sometimes take photos.
This actions takes places or happens during school hours. For example during lunch break, learners play music loudly in the open without using they headphones.
The is question is" Carring of cellphones by learners at school it is a good or a bad thing?
