Experiencing computer-based learning is an adventure. Try to remember the first time you saw and test a computer. For many of us, it has been many years or even decades since embracing computers at work and even at home. Now imagine what it would be like if you never knew about or ever touched a computer.
Thankfully the students at Thika School for the Blind Students now have access to computers with assistive technology and are quickly becoming computer savvy. Enclosed below is a recent experience that demonstrates how computers are expanding our students’ learning and lifestyle horizon. It is really a new dawn for our kids at the Thika School for the Blind.

Cyber-Cafe Outing
During a recent holiday break class eight, low vision student Joel Wandai visited a cyber cafe to surf the web and check email. After coming across unfamiliar computer software, he called for assistance and explained that he required a talking computer with Mozilla software- http://www.mozilla.org/ . This was the first time the cyber-café attendant had ever heard of a talking computer, and Joel was able to confidently explain how a talking computer worked.
The cyber-café attendant was very impressed with Joel’s computer knowledge and inquired into his school. The Mozilla program was successfully uploaded and Joel proceeded to access the internet, just like all the other cyber-café customers.
