[kictanet] Technology and Teachers

[Japheth kemboi]

Dear Jane,
As Warigia mentioned, technology will not replace or substitute teachers. No cause for alarm re: KNUT. What teachers need to do is to work on technological competencies in the areas of ICT use. Technology has become a vital TOOL that enhances classroom teaching and learning. Tech savvy Teachers would then be able to choose what, when and how to employ technology in respect to course content. 
Technology alone cannot teach. What teachers will see in class is an extended learning process for learners unlike teacher led sessions.  Teachers become facilitators offering guidance to learners as they explore concepts and ideas on their own. 
NB. Teachers must be there to introduce learners to new concepts and learning objectives, device activities, assess knowledge, etc. 

Technology brings big leaps in education but teaching remains a teachers role. 

Thanks,

Japheth Kemboi.
