WELCOME

Hi,    

Welcome to my blog. 

There are a few things I will like you to know about the blogger (Me) and the blog just to wet your appetite before you start digesting what I have in stock for you.

About the Blogger; he is a 29 year old Cameroonian Geology teacher (Graduate from Ecole Normal Superieur – ENS Bambili,42^nd batch (ENSAB at that time) 2005 - 2008) with a 6 years teaching experience (4 years for Geology… that’s the age of the high school science department of my school) currently teaching at G.H.S (Government High School) Njinikom in Boyo Division, North West region of Cameroon.

The idea of this blog was inspired (among many other facts) by;

1.     The difficulties I faced as a geology student and as a teacher of the subject.  As a student in high school, I suffered a problem of lack of teachers to cover the subject syllabus and also the very expensive cost of geology textbooks (if available).  As a teacher I felt a need to compare my notes with those of more experienced teachers of the subject and regularly update my notes too, but that was not very easy (for some of the reasons that students also face when giving out or begging for a book)… reasons like fear of mishandling the notes or fear of copying and repeating errors..etc..

2.     The need to teach students how to  make use of the internet for educational purposes also caused me to create this blog where students can easily “find what they seek……” while learning how to use ICTs for learning.  The world is a global village for ICT literates so I don’t want them to be left out….

3.     The fact that other teachers will be able to correct me at their convenience.

4.     The fact that it will help younger teachers in the field to compare and update their notes.

5.     The fact that Cameroonian geology students will have access to most if possible, all the notes……ANYTIME ANYWHERE…..!

6.   I am trying to reach out in a special way to the public, especially those Students who are deprived from education due to any reason whatsoever (like those in Kolofata, Fotokol and any other area suffering from terrorism)

 This blog is meant for YOU (learners in general) and Geologists in particular especially for Students and Teachers of Geology (in Cameroon).  Some of the posts also concern Personal Development Material, which I feel will be of a lot of help to any education stakeholder.

The material I post on this blog is taken from a wide range of web sources and textbooks (which I have enumerated as much as I can in the bibliography) including information from senior colleagues in the department (some of whom I have also acknowledged) and my own personal experiences as a teacher. 

 

Though I and a team of others have carefully verified the material, errors are inevitable.  I therefore welcome any form of corrections or information that can help me improve upon the material.

I place no restrictions on the use of the material so long as it is not for profit or selfish interests. 

My greatest wish is that all education stake holders especially students and teachers benefit as much as they can from this blog.

I wish you all the best as you explore this blog.  

 Remember that learning is a lifelong continuous process and not a stage in life.

A futurist by name Alvin Toffler puts it this way ……..

“The illiterate of the 21^st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn”
