Technology

My dear friends of science, technology and innovation,I am pleased to welcome you to O.L.P.H Science, Technology and Innovation Department. Science, technology and innovation is of paramount importance in our day-to-day lives and the ways in which they are transforming the world.

Our quest and experience in technology for sustainable development has convinced us that it is only through multi-stakeholder and multi-lateral cooperation, that we can truly accelerate progress and reduce inequalities. However, technology alone won’t help us achieve the SDGs and recovery from COVID-19. Therefore, the deployment of scientific inventions, innovations and technological solutions will reach the targeted audience.

Benefits of integrating Information Communication Technology in education

  1. Their interest in learning grows: the use of resources as varied as videos, websites, graphics, and games make traditional subjects more interesting. Multimedia content is a very useful tool to bring different subjects closer to students in a complete and entertaining way.
  2. Interactivity: the use of ICT in the classroom promotes the student’s active and participatory attitude, which is involved in learning and is positioned as the protagonist.
  3. Collaboration between students: Collaboration between students is clearly enhanced thanks to various digital tools. It is much easier for them to create team projects, cooperate and learn from each other.
  4. They enhance creativity: ICT tools stimulate the development of the imagination, as well as the initiative of all class members.
  5. Increased communication: close communication between students and teachers is encouraged through various channels, in a more spontaneous and less formal way.
  6. Personalization and content up-to-date: digital environments allow real-time updating of all information and resources. In addition, it is possible to adjust the tools and content to local and nearby realities.
  7. ICT integration is a key part of the national curriculum: The integration of digital technologies or ICT is a significant part of the Zimbabwean Curriculum for example, and this is a trend that many global governments are taking up as they begin to see the significance of ICT in education.
