IT Knowledge Transfer Workshop

Over the last decade technology has taken over our lives massively and it has transformed our lives in all aspects, such as communication, business and social life. Unlike the 1900s we have to maintain two profiles; the real and virtual lives. Though this is generally true in the develop countries among younger generation, when it comes to the developing countries a lot of improvements can be made by using Information Technology in people’s lives. In the recent past slight improvements have been made in the education system such as introducing IT as a subject, using videos when teaching early stage children alphabet, etc.  However, it’s safe to say, we as a country has a long way to go in utilizing latest technologies available in our day-to-day lives.

So how can this be improved or in other words, how can information technology be embedded more into day-to-day lives? Embedding technology education is one key method of achieving this. However, if the students are privileged enough to study IT and obtain an educational qualification in IT either leave the country or lead their lives in silos without transferring knowledge socially and professionally progress we can make as a community is very slow.  As a citizens of a developing nation it should very much be our responsibility as well as the government to contribute to country’s development. Therefore, trying to be responsible citizen we as a team decided to set an example to others by transferring our IT knowledge we gained in the school and the university into the community. As the first steps towards that we approached an IT tuition class and IT subject in school to do a workshop in IT.

With the help of the teacher who manages the class we conducted this workshop making sure the code of ethics are followed.  Next sections of this blog will describe how we followed the code of conduct throughout the session.
