Teaching the Teachers by Peter Okeyo

inABLE had the opportunity to open it’s gates to Thika High School for the Blind Teachers to come and acquire the basic computer skills. The classes were conducted in two sessions, morning session and mid morning session. Because there were three visually impaired learners, it was decided to offer two sessions rather than just one (understandably, visually impaired learners may require more time). The same curriculum was taught at each session, so that any learner could attend both sessions.

With two computer labs at Thika School for the Blind, the sighted teachers were instructed in the main computer lab, while the visually impaired teachers could learn at their own pace in computer lab two.

The “teach the teacher” learning day was a success with everyone learning new computer skills.
