Stop Teaching Content, Start Teaching Critical Thinking

Tools like Google Classroom, Moodle, and Teachable empower teachers to personalize learning, automate grading, and dynamically update curricula to stay relevant to a fast-evolving world.
The Three High-Value Tech Skills for Kenyan Educators
Educators don’t need coding degrees, they need practical tech fluency that directly impacts learning outcomes. Key skills include: 1. Data Literacy & Dashboards: Use Google Sheets or Power BI to track and visualize student progress, helping you identify learning gaps early. 2. E-Learning Content Creation: Build scalable courses using simple digital authoring tools to reach a wider audience beyond physical classrooms. 3. Digital Workflow Automation: Simplify admin work like attendance and communication with automation tools such as Zapier or CRMs. These tools open doors to new roles like Learning Analyst, Curriculum Technologist, or Corporate Trainer.
