Moliehi Sekese
We caught up with Moliehi on a rainy day at the TSD offices in Maseru to hear her story first hand, being such a sweet lady she gave us part of her limited time and here we feature her story as she told us.
Moliehi hails from Matlakeng in the Botha-bothe district and she was married in Qoqolosing in the Leribe district. She is a teacher by profession teaching Maths, English, Science, Home Economics and at times Religion at 'Mamoeketsi Primary School at Tsoapo-le-bolila in Maseru district. The school is said to be one of the best perfoming Primary schools in the district. Moliehi has so much passion about ICT and how it can be harnessed innovatively in schools to encourage effective learning. She has been involved in various projects at her school encouraging the use of ICTs in various ways. visit the gallery for pictures.
Moliehi is passionate about learning, and technology has engaged her students and the rest of the community in the projects students have undertaken. But it's her attitude to what she and her students don't have that presents a lesson many Western educators, complaining about technology provision or technology policy being a barrier to getting things done:
"It was a joyful experience to experience the unexpected. When the mind is prepared, the moment we are given the opportunity to integrate technology into the classroom. It's not about having 100 computers in the class. We have limited resources and we can do a lot.
"It's all about passion, love of what we are doing and also, we need to share whatever we have.
"Stop blaming the challenges. Use a stumbling block as a stepping stone to success."
