The co-founder and Director of CsFirst Lagos Edu Consult, Mr. Uche Nwaobi said an analog teacher cannot teach a digital student, adding that educators must develop their 21st century teaching skills if they must fit into the industrial revolutionised education system.
He described such system as a world that will be ruled by artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced digital learning tools for 21st century schools.
“Our conferences are designed to enlighten the entire school community on the need for effective integration and application of technology in teaching and learning; the need for teachers to be IT compliant and the proper use of technology as a tool for improving teaching skills that impact pupils and students.
“The training is carefully crafted to also equip teachers and educators, encourage collaboration among pupils and students; and improve their creativity in and outside the confines of the classroom,” he said.
A co-founder of the organisation, Mr. Akpan Emmanuel said illiterates of 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn.
