INFORMATION & COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY (ICT) DEPARTMENT
The ICT/Computer Department co-joined with the Mathematics Department was established in September, 2015. The department was formed by merging the former Mathematics (formerly under Science Department) and Computer Science departments. The independence of this department came into being in September, 2016.
The creation of the ICT Department came as a need to help the students adapt to advancements in technology and in response to the huge demand for information technology studies. And our main target in all examinations is to ensure that students achieve 100% success in both internal and external examinations, as this is what determines whether a child will end up doing his or her desired course in the university. We achieve this by ensuring progressive lives for our students by laying good ICT background for them, as this would also help them in other subjects.

Achievements
Through the support of the school administration, under the leadership of Elder Fasanu G.O, the school Principal, the department has been able to integrate the use of interactive whiteboards into our classes both in the junior and senior schools.
Integration of electronic whiteboards enables students and staff to interact with digital content and multimedia in a conducive learning environment. The learning activities involve
- Manipulating text and images
- Taking notes in digital ink.
- Saving notes in digital form for easy teaching
- Using wiz-teach software, and Microsoft office suits to enhance the lesson in the classroom.
- Creating digital lesson activities with templates and images
- Showing and writing notes over educational video clips
- Using presentation tools built into the interactive whiteboard software to enhance learning materials
- Showcasing student presentations
- Integrating e-learning has made lessons more memorable because students are motivated with the learning tools and focus more on the teacher’s explanations rather than worrying about how to capture everything through note-taking.
- Motivating teachers and students to interact effectively, improves chances of student retention during classes; it aids students’ success by making them copy accurate notes during the lesson.
- Creating the opportunity for students and staff of the school to own laptop computers for taking class notes, doing assignments and preparing lesson notes or lesson plans in digital form.
- Teaching e-learning classes has been able to lay off fears of handling or teaching the class because the technology is friendly and easy to use.
- Using electronic whiteboards has made our teachers become world-class teachers that are fit to teach in any advanced country’s secondary or high schools.
- Living online 24/7 with less or no downtime in our classrooms and offices that operate on advanced technology with cost-effectiveness and less susceptibility to power fluctuation. This has added value to the school.
- The classrooms, offices, and laboratories are networked with both wired and wireless networks for easy management and network monitoring.
- The department has maintained a constant pace of development to sustain e-learning and the internet in the school. Also, the department provides forums and free space for students, staff, and other stakeholders to share and disseminate knowledge, information and experiences acquired.
Through the help of God and the leadership of Elder Fasanu G.O, the department always organize staff training for capacity building and empowers our students with ICT technologies and continuous upgrade of ICT-driven teaching and learning skills in the school.
