PRACTICAL COMPUTER TRAINING NOW IN OFIKI PRIMARY SCHOOL, ATISBO

It is interesting working
in the village. few years ago Pamela invited me to Kafanchan where we
were taught blogging by Glenn and Shooting of Photographs by Kelechi
little did i know that i was been prepared for my future passion. I
have interest in art and graphics last year i went for a camera Canon
D60 (broke my pocket for the camera but it is a gadget worth buying).
I ventured into photography and some of my works could be seen on
folabisunday
late last year I motivated a school to get a PC for the pupils and
they they did purchased one for sure, Computer is getting more rooted
in the Nigerian education system, since some of the examinations are
being done using computer and it will be of good help if we catch them
young (teaching computer right from primary school)I have taken them
Computer class few months ago before I went for my sandwich degree
programme at Lead City University Ibadan The good news is I will be
having my teaching practice for six weeks and I hope to intensify in
my teaching the pupils computer and internet usage. see some of the
shot i took with the pupils and one of their teachers last time i had
their class before i traveled for my study. I wish to
establish a well standard computer and ICT center in the village where
i could be of help teaching the students in the village how to use the
internet and more so now I am into graphics and photography as i go for
wedding shot( I still need some photography gears though) I will like
to teach the pupils and anyone in the locality photography, computer
usage and the use of the internet especially now when we only need a
router to share the Glo 3G network available in the town. Someday I
wish to start teaching computer in local language on the only radio
station in the area but the logistic and the wherewithal to go about
it is lacking I hope someday my voice would be heard on Radio in local
language teaching Computer. Many people are now using computer in the
town and I am happy to tell you Ago Are and other towns in ATISBO ( an
acronym of towns that made up the local government Ago Are//Agunrege,
Irawo, Tede, Irawo, Baasi, Sabe,Ofiki//Owo ) has changed drastically
in terms of technology skills. now you see people repairing computer
around the town and you see mini computer centers all around, I wish
to someday provide ict training skills for the computer users in the
local governemt someday.

My Story and Journey on ICT with Pamela McLean

My quest to the world of ICT knew no bound and it was borne out of passion since when i was a young boy with mum selling dead newspaper. While reading through these unsold magazines i found out that a life without information is shapeless and helpless.


I discovered there avalanche of opportunities on internet. I got most of my problems solved reading those old unsold newspapers and that was 2003 and it continued till 2003 when i got my first email opened on yahoo mail.

I never gave (up) i spent countless hours surfing the internet in a cafe searching for knowledge and skills that can be helpful for my life and career, I had to pay through my nose to get access into a cafe then in 2003 I was helping many people around solving their internet problems by helping them opening an email account in the cafe and they were happy,

I solved most assignment while on campus using Google search and most of my colleague looked up to me anytime there is a challenge on computer and getting information online, I helped many people attached their documents online and I was happy spending my money doing these selfless services without being paid a dime.

I got my employment under the Oyo state Universal Basic Education Board {SUBEB} in 2005 and I was posted to ATISBO {is an acronym of all the towns and villages that made up the local government}.

Then i had grew versed on internet and i have mastered the usage of computers but my quest for knowledge keep building.

I was posted to a place where there was no telecommunication company and getting on the internet was almost impossible though we later after a year had a network or thereabout but I later got to know that there is a place called Information Centre in Ago Are and I was moved i searched for the place and i went there to see how I could get myself connected to the internet in 2007.

It was at the information centre I met Pastor David who manage the place with some other locals, my constant visit to the place to surf the internet brought me closer to PD as he is fondly called.

My views about internet and information changed when teachers in the local government were invited to the centre to be addressed by an English woman. I attended the meeting and the woman Pamela McLean spoke to us about helping each other, collaborating to solve community problems and learning from each others.

We exchange emails and she went back to UK and my quest for ICT grew more deeper after I heard her speak to us I was not satisfied with the poor Internet access and erratic power supply then I went to obtain a loan and use it to purchase a Sony Ericsson phone P990i in 2007 and with it i browse the internet and keep abreast of information.

Pamela was so impressed by my action that I obtain a loan to get information on how to teach the pupils in the village.
