I
have learned more form this conference specially the Technology and
Internationalization session presented by linden Herrera, Brenda Nyandiko, and
Patrick Mose, Which is talking about the educational opportunities and
challenges in developing countries and the online learning, as well as the
mobile phones uses and the "education for all project" in Kenya I
like the idea that Women were using peer-to-peer media for civic
education in that project, and I was very interested to hear more about the
principles of critical pedagogy in the online classroom they also talked about
the non-traditional adult education.
Technology
is a tool to express about ourselves online but in the situation that we have
in South Sudan I think we cant relay too much on it because there are huge
number of people who are unreachable, and as we are living in the social media
age, the question still remains in my mind, What exactly happen to the online
files and digital records and which polices privacy is applied to keep them all
safe?
Really important questions Viola, we worry about internet privacy here as well! Hopefully, as social media and technology advances into South Sudan you can learn from some of our mistakes! I'm glad you were able to attend this session. Technology is very powerful and can bridge many gaps, but access is critical as is technological literacy. South Sudan will advance technologically and you will be at the forefront of that I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteDear Ajonga,
ReplyDeleteTechnology is really poor in South Sudan specially the internet. You know how people struggle to connect using Zain connect. V-SAT which is better than Zain is so expensive to buy. So there are limited chances of internet use in which you will need to store data online, and you are asking of what will happen to online and digital records and with which policy, when we are not even connected in the first place.
I like the fact that you said we live in world of social media and that is very true because without the social media l wonder how the world will look like now. ln South Sudan technology is really really poor l hope one day we will try to do something about it
ReplyDeleteI think you have a brilliant idea but the problem am seeing in South Sudan is lack of electricity. When there is no electricity, the use of technology will be difficult because accessing the internet will be hard unless there is alternative power source that many others may not have.
