To improve the interactive learning process in schools using the aid of technology, Pengage Technologies Limited, a dynamic information and communications company is organizing digital training sessions to empower teachers with the required skills to promote education in secondary schools. The e-learning program known as e4engage creates an audio visual experience for teachers in all subjects taught in secondary schools.
According to Simeon Ogunnubi Nofa, Head Business Operations of Pengage Technologies, “Digital Technology provides numerous tools that teachers can use in and out of classrooms to enhance student learning. The major challenge however is the lack of digital skills by the teachers and the inability to utilize the tools for maximum improvement on their jobs. This training will empower teachers in finding creative ways to integrate digital technology in their classes”
Participating schools will have their teachers taken through a digital course module that includes Wordpress, Microsoft office 365, Articulate 360 (e-learning), Canva and the use of Adobe Illustrator. Participants will also have access to free wifi to use online tools, free software installation and digital manuals.

“Teaching and learning should be exciting. That is what we intend to inculcate with this training ensuring that teachers find it easier to teach while the students find it easier to learn.
