[kictanet] Laptop project: Pre-bid Conference

[Japheth kemboi]

I would like to second the thoughts of Ray here. 

With due credit to the people who crafted the whole process, I seriously hope there were no steps missed or any willful blindness . This is a very expensive project and such mistakes can be detrimental.  

Training of teachers must be thoroughly conducted - not only use of computers but content design and development for digital instruction, management of blended learning, hardware maintenance, etc. with out leaving out the change management part.  

I foresee chaos on the first day of computer use in class pivoted by the excitement of the teacher and the students alike. 

I am not sure if std 1 or primary shool teachers receive any IT training in college. Maybe this should be a mandatory requirement in syllabi.

Just my thoughts.
