Headteachers’ ICT Sensitization Workshop

We have just concluded an ICT Sensitization and Training Workshop for Headteachers of primary and secondary schools at Gayaza High School which was organized by SchoolNet Uganda. I was very privileged to attend this workshop and facilitate one of the sessions of how schools can take advantage of the web and the internet.

Overall, the workshop was a great success as over 100 headteachers attended the workshop and a lot of great sessions where held at the workshop.

In my session, I share about school websites from a user’s perspective and I tried to answer the common questions asked by people who are trying to get websites for their schools and what they should expect. I cover:

• What is a website?
• Why is it necessary for a school to have a website?
• What makes up a good school website?
• Why should a school have a good website not just a website?
• How to plan a good school website to meet your objectives?
• What does it take to have a website?
• Testimonies of having a website.

I have seen very many people, organizations, etc with websites or intending to have websites but these websites aren’t meeting the objectives they are met to achieve (of course, this is in my option). So even though websites are really crucial and critical for organizations, people etc.. how do we ensure that they are worth it and they are helping us to achieve our objectives of having a website? or are we just trying to follow the current trend that everyone, every organization should have a website?

I really hope to share the details of this presentation sometime to come however, in a more general perspective of having a website rather than just school websites. So don’t forget to subscribe to my RSS feeds or to keep checking my website/blog for details of these series.
