Merriam Websters dictionary defines Excellence as the quality of being excellent. To be Excellent means to be extremely good, to be outstanding, to possess superior quality, to be world class. According to Wikipedia, Education is the process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits. Achieving Excellence in our Education means being able to stand at par with any Educational institution anywhere in the world. It means our Students and Educators will not just excel locally, but, they will be able to compete favourably with their counterparts globally. Fortunately for us, this is the 21st century and we have Technology tools at our disposals than any generation before us. The advent of the Internet and the World Wide Web has made knowledge and information available to all and sundry. The world is now a global Library where any one with access to the internet can access knowledge and information at their finger tips.

INTRODUCTION

3. THE ACTION PLAN
★ If we must achieve excellence in Education, then we must provide
Knowledge that is not obsolete.
★ Long gone are the days when Teachers use the same lesson notes to teach
students year after year and students use textbooks that were authored
years before they were born.
★ With technology, knowledge is democratised.
★ Our Teachers and Students now have access to the same knowledge and
learning materials that their counterparts in the USA and Europe are using.
★ The action plan is to make our Schools conducive enough for research and
digitalised teaching and learning.

4. “Today’s generation of students are
growing up in a digital world.
Using digital devices must be made a huge
part of their everyday experience in/out of
the school.

5. TECHNOLOGY TOOLS FOR
EDUCATORS

6. DIGITAL CLASSROOMS

7. DIGITAL LEARNING CLASSROOMS
➤ Our Classrooms need to be
digitally enabled.
➤ Classes should be equipped
with projecting screens that
will enable teacher present
their digital notes and other
multi-media learning materials
to students during classes.
➤ Doing this will bring our
teachers up to speed with the
state-of-the-art teaching
methods and also make our
students learn faster.

8. DIGITAL LESSON NOTES

9. DIGITAL LESSON NOTES
➤ With minimal training,
Teachers and Educators can
now create digital copies of
their Lesson notes which they
can project during classes and
also make available to
Students to aid further study.

10. Multi-Media Knowledge Delivery

11. MULTI-MEDIA KNOWLEDGE
➤ In addition to their lesson
notes, teachers can now
source for multimedia
materials to deliver knowledge
to their students.
➤ Multimedia materials include
Videos, Audio-Visuals,
Animations, Simulations,
Models etc.

12. TECHNOLOGY TOOLS FOR
LEARNERS

13. LEARNING HUBS IN THE SCHOOL

14. LEARNING HUBS WITHIN THE SCHOOL
★ It is now common practice for
Schools to have digital
learning hubs within their
premises.
★ Learning hubs are centres in
the school where students
have access to internet and
digital resources which they
can use under monitoring to
access further knowledge over
the internet.

15. SELF-PACED LEARNING
★ The digital lesson notes and
materials provided by teachers
can be made available in the
learning hubs for students to
learn at their own pace.
★ Most times, the 40-45 minutes
class period is not sufficient to
slow learners to grasp the topic
being taught but with the
digital materials, the students
can learn, re-learn and
regurgitate not he lesson till
they have a full understanding.

16. Virtual Reality Learning

17. AUGMENTED LEARNING
★ T h e a d v e n t o f Vi r t u a l a n d
Augmented reality has now made it
possible to Students to have a feel of
concepts that were once abstracts.
★ T h e l a n d m a r k s , m o u n t a i n s ,
locations, extinct animals, internal
body organs that are being taught in
the various subjects can be
showcased to students via virtual
reality glasses.
★ Now students can get a feeling of
how the human heart pumps blood
in biology, what the Mount
Kilimanjaro looks like and what a
moving dinosaur looks like.
