Ebenezer was part of the participants at the CCLE workshop organized by IICD and shared his experience on developing social networking tools to be used by teachers to teach in the classroom

What experiences do you have to share ?

It is about how to create knowledge and share. I shared a story whereby i created a snapshot of how to use blogs, wikis and other social networking tools and uploaded them on teachertube.com

What i did express is that teachers can use blogs, wikis and other CMS or module to create knowledge , i tried to make it very simple for teachers by creating this sofware and how to use it systematically and this i did and uploaded and the feedback i got was so marvelous. Teachers wrote back to tell me this is a good tool and some of them even called for other tools which i can come out with like video tutorials which i am trying to work with International Education and Resource Network to see how this can be possible .

I work with ICT4D Jamaica that really stands for Information and Communication Technology for Development in Jamaica. I am the programme Manager and network Coordinator for ICT4D Jamaica. Presently, we are working on literacy and numeracy skills programme. We are doing it with a focus on the youth between the ages of 17-25. The programme has a target group of five hundred learners and we will really like to reach these learners alot of whom have dropped out of high school and have ended with no jobs, we call them at risk and unattached.

For some successes, we have trained over twenty facilitators for the programme and they seem to be keen on the the content that was produced using a software.

On the challenges two. ICT technical competence of the facilitators and the stigma of illiteracy in Jamaica so we really hope this programme will work out to address some of these challenges.

Gay shared her story with a group of IICD Country partners in a four day cross Country Learning Experience taking place in Accra, Ghana from the 24th-27th of May 2008.

What is your Name and where do you come from?

My name is Gay Nyakwende, I am the programme manager for OneWorld Africa based in Zambia

What is the theme of your story and and what is your story about?

The theme behind my story is that the level of education should not be a determinant for one's use of ICTs for development. My reasons are that, One World Africa has gained an experience in training grassroot Women whose level of education has been very minimal. They have also had the opportunity of training teachers who are highly educated but find out that Women whose level of if mastered in the use of computers will be able to produce content on issues that affect them on day-to-day basis much more than what the teachers have been able to do.

What were your learning points?

The learning point here is that, the level of motivation amongst people and also in the desire to learn much more will educate teachers to find that ICTs are a tool in enabling them in their work.
