Trainees end session optimistically

Truly education has got no end I can say, From January, 30 to Feb, 3, I joined my fellow media editors, sub editors, journalists and journalism lecturers from different institutions at Tanzania Global Development Learning Centre (TGLC) for internet uses training.

The training was geared towards exposing participants to more sophisticated techniques of using internet in undertaking their journalistic activities especially in journalistic researches through the internet and the appropriate sources of information in Africa and worldwide at large.

Indeed, the training was fantastic as it was well organized, practically oriented and run by experienced trainers involving Mr. Peik and Mjengwa.

I appeal to you that I have grasped a lot of techniques however that I need more time to practice for my own.

Really, the training has exposed me into new and basic techniques which would be very useful in executing my duties at my media house. Importantly, I am certain that the knowledge I have gained won’t end up in me but rather I will strive to pass it to my colleagues who didn’t attend the training.

However, for the sake of some improvement in the future, I would recommend the following things that need to be taken into consideration; Training period be extended as the training encompassed a lot of aspects but we were compelled to go fast in order to cope with the schedule, Working facilities be improved in this case, the internet connections as sometimes participants failed to follow the directives by the trainer as the network was down and also the organizers can look how can they increase the number of participants as perhaps more media houses would like to participate for their betterment.
