Abstract

Reading is recognized as an art capable of transforming man’s life and his entire society. However, in the state of the World Children Report by (UNICEF,1999), it was stated that nearly a billion people entered the 21st century unable to read a book or write their names. The Hindu newspaper (2004) also put forward that in an age when browsing the net, playing with funky handsets and passing non-stop SMSs seem to be the order of the day, reading a book in a peaceful corner of a library has become an archaic idea for most people. While technology is slowly taking a steady control over individual lives, the reading habit is fast vanishing into thin air.” In Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly, the problems of illiteracy and the scarcity of learning resources gravely limit the opportunities people have to learn and to transmit their circumstances (Tella and Akande 2007).

Reading is a very important issue which is not only about enjoyment but a necessity; the basic tool of education (Makotsi, 2005). Reading makes way for a better understanding of one’s own experiences and it can be an exciting voyage to self discovery (Panigrahi and Panda, 1996; Eyre, 2005). It is the art of interpreting printed and written words, the most effective process of conscious learning which influences the extent and accuracy of information as well as the attitudes, morals, beliefs, judgement and action of readers (Devarajan and Gray in Panigrahi and Panda, 1996). In the African continent, the reading habit of children is waning. The cause of this has been traced to poor reading cultures of Africans generally and other notable factors like non-availability of reading materials (books). As Choudhung (1990) put it “the reading habit is best formed at a young impressionable age in school, but once formed, it can last one’s life.”

Young children acquire reading literacy through a variety of activities and experiences within different contexts. According to Sharma (1978), to know about the world and its environment, a child helps himself through reading books, newspapers, and other magazines. Based on this fact, Panagrahi and Panda (1996) explain that once the child has been taught to read and develop a love for books, he can explore for himself the wealth of human experience and knowledge. These authors went on further to say that “children missing the opportunity of getting in touch with books at this stage, find it difficult to acquire reading habits in their later years.” Dave (1977) asserts that reading is an intellectual action which is possible only if a man has formed a habit of reading and practicing it since childhood.

It can be deduced from the above that the importance of reading cannot be overemphasized and this is because reading habit plays a very crucial role in enabling a person to achieve practical efficiency. Books are the most suitable medium through which knowledge is transmitted from generation to generation. Books yield their best to you if you read them at the age at which each particular masterpiece can ideally be chewed and digested (Naik, 1976). It has been pointed out that most people in Sub-Saharan Africa have less access to

books or other learning resources, and without proper access, it is hard to establish a reading culture. To Makotsi (2005), “the challenge is fundamental.” Children and adults according to him need access to a wide range of reading materials to help them acquire and maintain fluent reading skills, broaden horizons, and think independently and critically. Improving access to relevant information and promoting a reading culture are prerequisite for strengthening literacy skills, widening education and learning opportunities, and helping people to address the causes of poverty”.

The non-progressive nature of literacy in almost all African countries is more prevalent. The issue has been put forward to go beyond schooling. This is because parents who cannot read themselves are unable to help their children to read and the cycle continues. The situation in Botswana is no different from other African countries, though, the literacy level is now improving. It stands at 77 % as observed by Lauglo (2000).

School library is the one found in primary and post primary institutions where educational services are offered to patrons of the library.Cummins (2001) as cited by Adeniji (2006) sees school library as the heart and soul of the educational system,thus,the role of school library in any school in Nigeria cannot be overemphasized as the library provides the necessary impetus to all categories of learners in schools from the slowest learner in the kindergarten to the most intelligent senior in the high school through the provision of print and non print materials to aid learning.

Daniel (2004) observes that the library remains the power house of educational institution and that an education institution without a library is like a motor car without an engine and a body without a soul.Smith (2002) opines that the school library is the backbone of functional education without which academic excellence cannot be achieved.Obviously speaking, both the library and the school are inseparable twins that one ceases to function well without the other.Ironically,however,one still finds in Nigeria,some primary and secondary schools been run without libraries.Erinle (1997) stress that both the library and the school serve the same purpose to achieve a common goal; that the school educates the student through the help of teachers while the library on its own offer tutorial lecture materials to aid verbal classroom teaching which is referred to as silent function of providing materials for the pleasure of students.

The library therefore complements the school by encouraging private study,which is required by students and teachers who want to attain an academic height.The school library thus, stands as a symbol for the truthful expression of man’s knowledge and experiences.The extent to which many young people will be creative,informed,knowledgeable and exhibit the trait of a well cultured individual within their own years will be shaped by the boundaries of the content of the library resources available within the support of the school.The school on its own cannot achieve the laudable goals of Nigeria education without the library (Gbadamosi,M.& Omotayo,B.1995).

The Sedgwick Public School in Sedgwick, KS have put together a “SWAT Team” of students that help other students and teachers with technology related issues in the school district. The SWAT team’s role has expanded from school related issues to helping businesses in the community and will continue to expand in the future.

“In addition to helping with computer problems, they complete ‘work requests’ for the community,” Darren Crumrine, a technology resource teacher at Sedgwick Public School, told MacCentral. “iMovie is one of several software applications we have used to meet the requests and we are planning to develop web pages for businesses in the community later in the year.”

Anecdotal evidence in places like Maine and Henrico County suggest technology programs have helped students on many different levels. Crumrine says that with technology and the SWAT Team, his own role as a teacher has changed from a provider of knowledge to a facilitator.

“As long as students are making progress towards the goals of a given project, I usually do not set a hard and fast deadline,” said Crumrine. “This has been beneficial in that it students feel they can be more creative because they are not under the pressure of a deadline. The result has been a great working relationship in the classroom.”

Sedgwick Public Schools have 85 students with their own iBooks and three iMac labs with 25 computers in each.

Teachers make the switch

The Grossmont Union High School District in La Mesa, California has been working with their teachers to switch over to Mac OS X. Out of the 1,200 laptops being used in the district by teachers, 1,000 of them are using Mac OS X on their iBooks, with the remaining 200 teachers use Dell laptops.

“OS X is more reliable than previous versions,” said Warren Williams, Assistant Superintendent Information and Technology Services, Grossmont Union High School District. “We have fewer support calls to fix operating system errors and it fits nicely with our migration to Unix based platforms and industry standards. Ultimately it will save our teachers computing time so they can devote more effort towards incorporating technology as a tool to deliver instruction rather than wasting time managing software.”

As with the Sedgwick school system, Williams points to Apple’s iApps like iMovie, iPhoto and iTunes as tools teachers are using in the classroom. But it’s not just Apple’s free suite of applications that are being utilized in the district; Final Cut Pro, Adobe Photoshop, Cinema 4D and Maya are also being used on student machines, which are all in the process of being moved to Mac OS X.

“It [Mac OS X] permits easier collaboration between teachers and students,” said Williams. “Some are already using apps like iChat to enhance communication. Every student and teacher has been provided an eBackpack, an online storage and collaboration tool that runs on OS X. By providing every teacher with a laptop loaded with OSX and other multimedia applications we have made way for our teachers to take attendance online, incorporate video into instruction and use them to prepare our students with 21st Century skills.”

The backend servers in the district are running Mac OS X Server to power the student information system, a QuickTime Streaming Server and Web page delivery.

Putting Jaguar in teacher’s hands

The program launched by Apple last week, dubbed ” X for Teachers,” will put a copy of Jaguar in the hands of any K-12 teacher in the U.S. that wants to sign-up for the program. Qualifying teachers will receive Mac OS X v10.2 Jaguar, Mac OS 9 for Classic support and a Getting Started with Mac OS X Training CD — Apple will also pay for shipping, handling and postage.

“One of the main strategies behind the program is to get Jaguar in the hands of as many teachers as possible, so they can get familiar with it,” Paul Papageorge, Sr. Director K-12 Marketing at Apple, told MacCentral. “As the transition and migration [to Mac OS X] happens they already have experience with Jaguar.”

Jaguar sold 280,000 copies since its release on August 24. Apple is forecasting that 20 percent of its installed base, or about five million people, will be using Mac OS X as their primary operating system by year’s end. Schools that decide to switch to Mac OS X will have to worry about integration of another OS into an existing older Mac environment, a Windows network or in some cases both.

“Mac OS X with its seamless networking is at home sharing files with Macs, including much older machines still running protocols like AppleTalk,” said Ken Bereskin, director of Mac OS Product Marketing. “Now with Jaguar being able to seamlessly integrate with Windows networks, including areas that are deploying district-wide infrastructures, Mac OS X brings a level of manageability and reliability that some schools have never seen.”

X for Teachers is a grassroots program to bring teachers back to Apple. The company dominated the education market for years, before losing marketshare to Dell Corp. Recent numbers from market research firm IDC show Dell with 34.9 percent of the education market, while Apple has 15.2 percent.

“The K-12 market is very special to Apple. If you take a look at the migration to Mac OS X, there are multiple elements to it — a key part of it is getting teachers up to speed with the key features of Mac OS X. That’s what this program is all about,” said Bereskin.
