were running in ICT and also to gain teaching experience in such a manner that all students can
understand.

The method was used to enable student t to try out various calculations in word, excel, access
and also to create their own accounts on interne and e-mails, online services, installation of
CCTV’s, Networking, Passport taking and many more.

CHALLENGES
SERVICING OF MACHINES
Some of the machines are not frequently serviced as a maintenance requirement procedure, lack
of replacement or backup equipment in case of faulty hence posing a risk of breakdown or in –
efficiency in time of need.
As teacher not all students will understand the content at once this will lead repeation which
leads to tiresome.
Miss behaviors in class during class lesson
Failures to class assignment especially the practical’s because computers need a lot of practice
Failure to understand online procedures which lead to poor services.
Poor connection of the wires for instance connecting a negative charge with the same charge
which can lead burning of cameras.

more knowledge.

of experience theoretically and practically. I learn much on online services which was more
interesting after I have known.

RECOMMENDATION
The equipment and machine in Information Communication Technology department should be
improved. As we know we are in a digital world. This would ensure every student is able to cope
up with emerging new trends when it comes to digital devices.
Student taking ICT should have a modern laptops to enable them explore their career and help
them program different programs that requires one to be creative and innovative apart from
having theory and practical knowledge.
A student taking ICT should be perfected both practicals and theory to help them deliver content
correctly. Also be able to learn more about online services as the nation is already digitalized.
