Looking for oportunities - and they appear

Access to the Internet has been described as a bottleneck and it is often felt to be the No One obstacle when needed and missed. Never the less it is quite often the case that this problem can be significantly reduced when the approach is to look for oportunities.

This was the case when Ohide and Fauzia sat together analyzing the oportunities for the instructors at the Multi Services Training Center in Juba to access the Internet at the MTC. A pattern of oportunities appeared and it became obvious that planning and coordination will have the experiences of possible access to improve.

Why have I joined this workshop?

On Monday March 23rd the questions were many at the opening of the workshop in Technical Vocational Teacher Development for the instructors at the Multiple Training Center in Juba.

The over all umbrella of the Technical Vocational Teacher Development program is the question How can I improve my practice?

Based upon each individual instructor's experience from his teaching questions like what is the most important area for me to improve? Is it my techniques, subject matter knowledge or do I have to work to improve the teaching and learning environment?
