My School without I.C.T

My Experience in Kufakwezwe  High School without the use of I.C.T

During my schooling years at Kufakwezwe High School, I never really imagine my life would be expose to other tools of learning such as a computer, I thought my life will end on using ink, paper and the chock-board when learning. Everything then seemed ordinary and plain normal, and i thought that's how it has to be because no one really new about Information Communication technology in our school. The only person who did use P.C was our administration clerk and I never really understood how essentially a computer was. I thought computers are for office use only.



As South Africa is one of the developing countries, there are many challenges when coming to technology and that thus affect our learning in the country most specially in poor rural areas. Many public schools don't have computers, some do have but they are not connected to internet. Barriers are defined as a set of conditions that make it  hard for a process to run smooth, and, considering the fact that there's a wide-range of them (barriers) in the South African educational set-up, they are bound to have a negative impact.



my former school, was affected by the above barriers and our learning was too limited compared to those who had I.C.T in their schools. and it had an negative impact in our lives because we then had to learn using a computer in a university level where we would be exploring more and enhancing our high school knowledge of technology.
