Teaching Coding to basic school students isn’t all rosy. There are several challenges one faces especially in Ghana, some of which include internet access and unreliable power supply. In the video below, students in the Institute of ICT Professionals, Ghana (IIPGH) coding club had to present without a projector because the school electrical system developed a fault that day. However, lessons had to go on. This taught the students the importance of making progress in unexpected negative situations and making the best out of the current situation while you plan for a better one. Also, this was the first presentation experience for most of them, you’d see a refined version with time. I taught them the importance of not abandoning your team despite challenges that arise. Learning to use iteration to improve output rather than perfection. I was so happy when groups that had mistakes on the first try went back to correct those mistakes and showed them again. Did you see how positive feedback lightened them up? I can’t wait to see how they evolve.

Learning coding at Institute of ICT Professionals, Ghana (IIPGH) is not only about acquiring technical skills. Children learn complementary skills like #teamwork. Can you see the excitement among the students? I put them into groups to solve different social problems with #Scratch projects. 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐮𝐨𝐮𝐬. To make it interesting and exciting for my students: 1. I praise every team no matter the project created. Praise their successes first before giving suggestions for improvement. 2. I take pictures and videos of their work and progress. Most students love the camera. 3. I hype the extra teams put in. Even as you praise each team, don’t forget to spotlight the excellence some show by adding more. Aside boosting their drive to do more, it encourages other teams to extra next time. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐚𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬? I think I might be enjoying myself more than these students 😂

Do you remember the first time you were mesmerized by your interaction with technology? The moment you gave instructions to a machine, and it responded, faithfully following your command? For me, that moment was in 1985 when I gave instructions to the computer to print an annual report for my physics teacher. Coding is the speech we author to silicon, a blend of magic and incantation. I give instructions and, like magic, it happens. For us software engineers and programmers, "Hello, World" holds profound significance beyond a mere command. It opens the door to boundless imagination and a future without limits. The power of words to create is truly limitless, but the power of coding in a programming language opens a multidimensional worldview that is unstoppable. Those who excel at programming become deeply convinced that they can understand and dissect any problem to find solutions. This sometimes gives them a sense of superiority. Yet, we must remember that the immense power granted by coding and technology should be wielded with humility and responsibility. As it is said, "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." As more and more Ghanaians and Africans join the ranks of technology experts at different layers of the industry, we must include ethics, a mindset of possibilities, and a common national purpose as essential elements of education. In the realm of programming, this means that our capabilities must be balanced with a commitment to ethics and the greater good, ensuring that our innovations lead to a just and equitable society. It is indeed possible to achieve this in Ghana. Our journey is not just about mastering technology but about harnessing it for the collective advancement of our society. Let us move forward with integrity, creativity, and a shared vision for a better future, proving that with the right values, Ghana can indeed lead in the digital age. It is possible !!

#SSETS Week 6 Assignment It’s been super motivating and exciting (though challenging) these past six weeks with #SSETS. I must say that the third live session with Dr. Akanimo Odon was deeply intriguing. Thank you, Doc. The formation of #MyMoneyCrewOnSSETS has been interesting and exciting. The #MoneyCrew is comprised of six members. They all expressed interest and availability. Interestingly, four have their LinkedIn page, though some needed to be updated, The person not having created one immediately. We are all connected now. Having done that, a WhatsApp group platform was formed for the dissemination of information. Meet my #MyMoneyCrewOnSSETS … The team has Oluwaseun Alabi, a final year Chemistry Education student at the University of Lagos, and Adeleke Saheed Bimbola, a Master’s graduate and a professional teacher with the Lagos State secondary school, as the ‘Sourcing Persons’. Their duty is to go online to check for grants and grant funding bodies for our research proposals. They must do this diligently and consistently so that no call is missed. They are to catalog their findings on Excel spreadsheets. Two people have been assigned this role because they are to provide the raw materials that we all will work with, and there cannot be any product without raw materials. Also, to forestall any unnecessary delay that can occur due breakdown in online connectivity, the busyness of any of the two, due to the nature of their work, or if indisposed. Our Excel spreadsheet expert is Zaynab Oduntan. Zaynab, a Master’s student in Chemistry Education will collate all the data collected by the Sourcing Persons and track these funding bodies. She is to follow their social app handles and calls for conferences and pre-workshops. She will ensure that she subscribes to their newsletters, joins their webinars, and the like. I, Rachael Okunuga will be the Liaison person. I am to read the calls from the Excel spreadsheet and liaise with the people we can involve in the research project. I am to put things together in advance for any proposal that may come up. I am to ensure that the #Preparations of the Five Ps Resource Mobilization is well taken care of. Next, our Finance person, Chioma Eduwa, a Biology Education Doctoral student, would carry out this role with Melody Okunuga, a Software Developer and a certified ICAN (ATS) account technician. Chioma will work on the finance and budget, followed by the two of us looking at it together before forwarding it to Melody for perfecting it. We are all #Excited about this and looking forward to winning a grant. The tempo is very high. Thanks to Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO); Lancaster University, British Council, and National Universities Commission (NUC). Thanks also to the University of First Choice and the Nation’s Pride, University of Lagos. Thank you Dr. Akanimo Odon, Dr Viola Akhigbe. My University Lead Coordinator, Prof. Uchenna Udeani. God bless you All.

I had an eye-opening and thought provoking experience recently that made me think deeply about how we can leverage technology to enhance learning in our classrooms. As a Changemaker educator in a public junior secondary school in Lagos State, I've seen firsthand how mobile phones can be a distraction in the classroom. In fact, our school as well as most junior secondary schools in Lagos State has a strict no-phone policy, and students in my junior secondary school are not allowed to bring their phones to school. However, during a recent visit to a nearby senior secondary school, I stumbled upon a different scenario. Despite the school's phone use policy, which only allows students to use their phones in class for specific educational purposes and under close supervision, I found clusters of students gathered around phones, playing games, watching videos, and engaging in other non-academic activities. This experience made me realize that students will find ways to use technology, regardless of the policies in place. So, what if we educators could leverage this technology to facilitate learning? What if we could design game-based learning activities that would engage students in and out of the school, facilitate learning, and make it fun and enjoyable? I believe that by embracing technology and finding creative ways to integrate it into our teaching practices, we can make a real difference in the lives of our students. By doing so, we can increase student engagement, improve academic outcomes, and better prepare our students for success in the digital age. Let's think outside the box and explore new ways to make learning relevant, engaging, and fun! #EdTech #GameBasedLearning #ChangemakerEducator #InnovativeTeaching #StudentEngagement #LearningWithTechnology #PhoneUsePolicy
