GAUTENG ONLINE AND KHANYA PROJECT

Gauteng Online and Khanya Projects feel that the integration of computers in school will contribute to enabling
students to perform in a global environment. Computer based learning can alleviate some of the pressure and stress
that educators experience. It can help the educator to move away from traditional learning materials. The education
can apply w.w.w to keep learners active and engaged, the advantage of the w.w.w is that it employs non-linear
instructions and teaching becomes interactive as the web makes it possible for the educator to conduct an educational
related conversation with learner outside the formal learning time.

Educators can also utilize web-based teaching to assess learners so that they can get feedback immediately in order
to adjust their instructional plan. This kind of feedback would enable educators to focus on their learners’ needs
feedback from exercises instantly allowing them to assess their own strengths and weaknesses with regard to a
particular instructional offering. Learning can help increase student engagement, motivation and attendance. It can
also improve performance on core subjects khanya showed maths.The projects point out that ICT will enhance
teaching and learning they have the potential to improve academic result and the whole school functioning just as
Kozmas pointed out.

ICT increase the schools ability to prepare learners and teachers for technology. The purpose of the project is to use
information, communication and audiovisual technology to improve teaching and learning. It seeks to deliver high
quality through the medium of ICT. ICT particularly computer and internet access supports constructivist
educational goals by empowering learners with the means to experiment with, and the learners explore information
resources around the globe and by providing teachers with better tools to facilitates learner-centered learning thereby
the educator shift from instructor to facilitator.
Student portal could be established to provide a platform which learners could obtain and share information through
collaborative learning. Kozma identified the problem of teachers being incompetent therefore G.K Project
suggesting a special programmer focusing on equipping educators.

• Increased ICT proficiency

• Greater knowledge of educational ICT and content master

• A greater understanding of how learners can benefit from ICT

• Increased reflection and meta-cognition while working with ICT and improved ability to engage in practices
that lead to new ways of thinking and understanding constructing knowledge and communicating.

• There are projects are using ICT’s to improve quality and equitably expand access to Secondary educat5ion
in South Africa. The projects agree with Kozma that system will encourage classroom activities and
projects that will engage students in open –ended, real world problems. These generic skills are appropriate
for all secondary students who work in the global economy. Whether, internet makes it possible for
educational resources such as lesson plans, books articles and other resources to be navigated.

Introducing ICT in education will give learners skills that will situate them in a better position in today’s knowledge,
economy the moment they graduate from secondary school. These innovative practices, engendered by new ICT’s,
help to improve educational quality. They enter the labor market right after secondary school or continue on with
professional training, or higher education. The deployment of ICT, sin secondary schools, which includes teacher
training in the use of ICT’s, will enable South Africa to use limited resources including teachers, to accomplish the
goals.

The goal of the approach is to boost enrollment, decrease dropout rates and increase the amount of knowledge
acquired in reading and math. This is financially harmonized through standardized tests where high scores are
equated with more knowledge. Using ICT’s to education does not only deny students the skills required to survive
and complete effectively, but also detaches them from the realities of the emerging global economy. Gauteng Online
