MP3 Briefing Reflections

Having gone through a briefing on mp3. I must say it has given me much clarity into what mp3 is all about and the thinking behind it.

Having moved from mp1 to mp2, we have come a long way in ensuring our pupils are well equipped to take on the information age. However, we are still not seeing the results as desired.

I believe the main problem lies with us, teachers. We are not digital natives and so it is not our natural inclination to be using IT. Thus the main crux of mp3 is to push the use of cutting age pedagogy through ICT. It is interesting to note that we are not pushing for the latest technology, rather we are pushing for the best way to teach using ICT.

Thus the conception of IT mentors who will be trained to be the gurus of how to develop or enhance pedagogy of teaching using ICT. These mentors will be very strong in their pedagogy first and not necessarily the most tech savvy.

Cyberwellness is another main strand in mp3 because without the proper use of ICT, pupils will only put themselves in grave danger.

Finally, to top it all, ICT Connection. This is a platform where teachers get to share all their best practices so that everyone can benefit.

I'm excited because this will really shape the way we teach. It is my dream that every pupil will be a confident user of ICT who uses ICT to learn independently and collaboratively with other students from all over the world.
