Our first day at the workshop was full of excitement and eagerness to know what we were going to learn. We were introduced to the importance of mobile phones in our everyday learning activities.

In  African countries the use of mobile phones in second cycle institutions are seen as disturbance to students since only the negative aspect of it is considered whiles the positive aspect is neglected. This workshop has made us student see the positive aspect of mobile learning more important than the negative.

One of the exciting moments in the workshop was when we had to take pictures related to some subject we selected.

The picture above show some students taking picture of the subject they chose. That is sports.

Other subjects which were available for students were: Biology , Arts , Physics , Architecture , English Language , Social studies and  Information communication Technology(I.C.T).

The pictures taking were to be used for the workshop’s blog so we were taught how to reduce the size of the pictures using Irfan view software into smaller bytes.

Hmm, the presentation time was the most nervous time for we the students, because we had to stand in front of teachers to make presentations about our interest.

The latter part of the first week saw as creating portfolios about our day- to – day activities; keeping track of  your daily activity in form of a document helps you recollect them when you have forgotten. We also developed micro contents for some specific subjects chosen.

The first week was interesting but the frequent black outs was a major challenge to us.

The first week has arose our expectations to see what the other weeks have in stock for us.
