Final
day of training Saturday,
September 10, 2016
The day began with writing up an assignment left to
us yesterday. In general the training
met my expectation as I have learnt on how to use the blog, search for credible
sites and verify the information as there are a number of sources some of which
are not credible. I liked the way the training has been interactive and
user friendly. As a lecturer, I have learnt and added some values to my teaching
career.
As part of learning, assignments is part and parcel
of the training and I welcomed the task with both hands as I was learning by
doing. The research assignment in my opinion is a test for the facilitator to know
whether the subject has been understood or not. Again, the facilitator wanted
us to show the sources of our materials used in writing our articles and show us
that attributing to sources is an honest way to do our tasks.
In doing my assignment, I had to search for the
related and relevant information to my topic until when I got saturated. Then I
took time to read the materials collected to find out an angle to begin my
article. The lesson I learnt from this
training is that one needs to accumulate materials, filter them and then plan the angle for the
story or article.
There are a number of issues to be taken to my
students, using the internet for searching materials, verification of
information search and using blogs for sharing information with students.
In general, the four day training has added value
to career as journalism lecturer. I thank MISA Tanzania chapter and Vikes for
the training.
