My career challenges

I've noticed of late that I'm actually on the verge of becoming one of the critics to my job. This came as a result of noting that very few learners can do basic mathematics even at grade 11 already. I think, as teachers, we need to check whether we are still relevant or coping with the new gerataion way of thinking and learning. I don't think that these learners can't do mathematics, may be it's the way we teach them that is boring and not interesting to them.

I wish to undertake a study on how best to meet the standard of these learners so as to teach them in a way that can keep them interested and willing to do more and more learning. My take is, Information and Communication Technologies is one way to try and keep these learners interested. We need to find a way to use mobile phones and video games so as to keep them interested and appreciate the value of education even in these gargets that they are so fond of!
