"Re: Techfactors" Author: Jendee Sapo Time: 23.06.2008 19:37 Comment: Ideally, that should be the case. Schools' must be ready in educating the students with ICT by investing with their infrastructure... but given the financial constraints plus the idea that many have not undestood how important ICT is, provision of computer units has become irrelevant.. *sad though

"Re: Techfactors , e-learning Cds" Author: Jendee Sapo Time: 23.06.2008 19:22 Comment: Hi! the students get to use the interactive exercises (CD) through the computers in the schools' laboratories.

"More gap on the divide" Author: Jay Plaza Time: 29.01.2008 00:20 Comment: I am wondering...So, how will the kids use those CD's/software(s) if the kids practically dont have access to computers at home? Ohhhh....got it! They will have to use computers in school. Does it sound practical if teachers will give them home/computer and the students dont have access to computers?
