IN SCHOOL EDUCATION
Presented By :

2. CHALLENGES AND ISSUES
1) To achieve a consistent level of ICT infrastructure in schools.
• There continues to be enormous disparity in the level of ICT availability and in the
level of ICT use in schools, especially between schools in rural areas and schools in
urban areas.
• The issue of lack of Internet connectivity is a particular challenge
• At the current rate of development of connectivity, it is unlikely that the
infrastructure will be in place in time to connect all schools to the Internet - rural
area

3. CHALLENGES AND ISSUES
2 ) Teachers are not trained to create and implement teaching materials
themselves.
• Teachers is that using the courseware simply means assigning a topic for
students to learn or search without any guidelines.
• Some teachers feel they can teach more content and make students
understand better by using traditional chalk and talk method.
3 ) Breakdown of electricity supply
• Enough energy supply needed to turn on the computer if all teachers and
students turn on the computer in one time, the energy will breakdown because
the energy supply is not enough.

4. CHALLENGES AND ISSUES
4 ) Time factor
• The teachers complained that the free time was too short for them to prepare their
lesson using ICT – surfing, skimming ,selecting.
• If have technical problem during lesson, take time to solve.
5 ) When teachers use the electronic management system-SSMS-use in writing reports,
taking attendance, setting timetables and preparing lesson plans
• If a server breaks down, the teachers could not get access to SMSS- teacher will
frustrated.

5. CHALLENGES AND ISSUES
6 ) Malfunction of computer, server, router and LCD.
• Although technicians were positioned in all these schools, the frequent technical
malfunction had imposed problem to teachers.
• It will take a long time to settle this problem.
7 ) Updating and correction process take a long time.
• It because courseware developers for the Ministry of Education assign their
intellectual property rights and copyright to the Government.

6. Presence of ICT in education policy
•In the previous ICT integration in
education was being done without a
policy framework to guide the
implementation.

7. Presence of highly motivated teachers
•For any education policy or innovations, to be
successfully implemented it needs to be accepted
by teachers
•In Tanzania, teachers agree that ICT is a useful tool
for transforming classroom practices.
•This can be a good instrument towards a successful
development of ICT in education in Tanzania

8. Facilities Available For Communication
• Communication:
1.the act or process of using words, sounds, signs, or behaviors to express or exchange information or to
express your ideas, thoughts, feelings, etc., to someone else
2. the ways of sending information to people by using technology

9. ALL ABOUT E-MAILSEMAIL

10. WHAT IS IT?
 Email or e-mail is short for electronic mail.
 It’s a modern method of:
transmitting data, text files, digital photos, and
audio and video files from one computer to
another over the internet.

11. SOME HISTORY...
 During the 1960s and 1970s many companies in
the United States used email facilities on their
systems.
 This enabled users of terminals attached to
those systems to send messages to each other.
 That was even before the internet was invented!

12.  As companies began to connect their central
systems (hosts) to their head offices then
employees were able to send email to other
employees on a world-wide basis.
 The internet just helped email become popular!
That was in the beginning of the 1990s –
when you were not even born!

13. SENDING MESS GES
 Email users create and send messages from
individual computers using commercial programs:
 To send the message, the user has to specify the
addresses. Messages to more than one recipient
are called broadcasting.

14. The email address needs to be followed by the
symbol @ (means “at”), followed by the domain,
the organization's name, and finally the country.
yourname@yahoo.com.br
USER
ORGANISATION
COUNTRY

15. Emails also contain headers and footers above and
below the message. They usually state the senders
name, email address, and the date that it was sent.
A user then can store, delete, reply, or forward the message to others.

16. You can use an Address Book and create a Contacts List.

18. Most email programs allow you to attach files and
photos to emails to send to others. This includes
audio and video files and digital photographs.

20. WHY EMAIL?
Discuss with your partner:
Why do people use emails?
Which are the advantages of using emails?
Are there any disadvantages?
Do you have an email account?

23. Get ready! You’re about to create
your own email account!
