ICT in Action and not In-action

Harry Gwala's maths department is on the move due to the efforts of Mr Lolwana, Maths HOD. Learners have been using the lab during school time as well as during afternoon classes. Many are excited to be there. Despite the problems of a burglary and a server that just goes down any time, they still visit the lab for Master Maths. Their Science department will soon be hot on their heels in the frequent use of ICT.

At Bulumko, Mr Pitso, the science guy plays around with some videos on the Mindset TV in his science lab. He was revising an investigation into the relationship between Force and acceleration. The maths lab is busy with learners using the internet for research. Some grade 12 learners were busy filling in application forms to study at UWC next year. There is no fighting, no unruly behaviour, just an excited buzz about the electronic media available at school. Many don't have this at home.

At Chris Hani, a Zimbabwean drama teacher who actually should be teaching in the the business stream is teachning learners to do research for an upcoming project. He is dynamic, eager and willing to incorporate ICT in his lessons. During a previous period they were using their internet and videos to study different Art forms. From time to time the Maths Lit teacher visits the lab with his learners just to brush on some important concepts of Ratio and Proportion.
