Technology on Education

Image
  The Impact of Technology on Education Technology has become one of the most transformative forces in modern education, reshaping how students learn, how teachers teach, and how educational institutions operate. From early childhood to higher education, digital tools have introduced new opportunities, efficiencies, and challenges that continue to evolve as technology advances. 1. Enhancing Access to Education One of the most significant impacts of technology is increased access to learning. Online platforms, virtual classrooms, and digital resources allow students to learn from anywhere, breaking down geographical barriers. This has been especially important in remote regions and during global crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, where online learning became essential. Open educational resources (OER), including free textbooks and learning materials, now make education more affordable and equitable. 2. Personalized Learning Experiences Technology enables highly individualized lea...

  Meet BIG B Tell the world who BIG B is? BIG B is more than a name it’s a movement. It’s the voice of grit, growth, and greatness born from the struggle and the streets, yet reaching for something higher. BIG B’s sound carries the weight of real stories: pain turned into power, doubt turned into drive, and silence turned into rhythm. What story or emotion sits at the heart of your sound?  At its core, BIG B’s music is about resilience, the fight to stay standing when life tries to knock you down. Every beat echoes a story of survival, every lyric bleeds truth, hunger, and hope. Whether it’s about love, loss, or legacy, BIG B’s sound always comes back to one message: you can rise from anything. How do life experiences shape the melodies and lyrics you create? Every line I write and every melody I craft comes straight from what I’ve lived the highs, the heartbreaks, and the hustle. Life taught me rhythm before music ever did. The pain, the lessons, the late nights, the come-ups...

  Kano court orders TikTok duo to marry over ‘indecent’ videos What happened A magistrate court in Kano, presided over by Halima Wali, ordered that two popular TikTok content creators — Idris Mai Wushirya and Basira Yar Guda — marry within 60 days. The order follows viral videos of them which were deemed “indecent” by the Kano State Films and Video Censorship Board (KSFVCB). The content showed behaviour described as “romantic gestures” or “shirtless and affectionate” interactions, which the board says violated the state’s moral / religious standards. The court also instructed the Kano Hisbah Board (a religious policing body) to facilitate the marriage process, and indicated that failure to comply would be treated as contempt of court. Key legal and social implications The ruling reflects a strong enforcement by Kano State of its moral / decency laws in relation to online and social‐media content. It raises questions about freedom of expression vs. community standards and who define...

  I’ve Never Heard Any Wealthy Person Say ‘Money na Water’” — Billionaire Cosmas Maduka Calls Out Reckless Display of Wealth Renowned Nigerian businessman and founder of the Coscharis Group, Dr. Cosmas Maduka, has sparked a conversation about the culture of extravagance among the country’s social elite. In a bold statement, Maduka condemned the rising trend of the slang “money na water”, which many now use to justify lavish spending and flamboyant displays of wealth According to the billionaire, such behavior reflects a “dead value system” that promotes irresponsibility and undermines the moral foundation of society. “ I’ve Never Heard Real Billionaires Say That” Dr. Maduka, who built Coscharis Group from the ground up into one of Nigeria’s leading conglomerates, drew a clear distinction between true wealth and empty showmanship. I’ve never heard Tony Elumelu say ‘money na water. ’ I’ve never heard Femi Otedola say it, and I’ve never said it myself,” he stated firmly. “When I atten...

John Augustus Otunba Payne: The Visionary Lagosian Who Bridged Two Worlds Introduction In the history of Nigeria’s evolution from a colonial society to a modern nation, certain names shine with quiet but profound influence. One such name is John Augustus Otunba Payne (1839–1906) — a man whose intellect, leadership, and commitment to progress placed him among the most remarkable figures of 19th-century Lagos. Though not always as widely remembered as some of his contemporaries, Payne’s impact as a journalist, public administrator, and community leader remains deeply woven into the fabric of early modern Lagos. Early Life and Education Born in Lagos in 1839 to Saro (Sierra Leonean) parents of Yoruba descent, John Augustus Payne was part of a new generation of Africans educated and influenced by both Western and traditional values. The Saro community, made up of repatriated Africans who had once been freed from slavery, played a key role in introducing Western education and Christian idea...

  WE WONT SEE FIREFLIES AGAIN  In recent years, many people have noticed that fireflies are becoming harder to spot. These beautiful insects light up the night sky with their glowing bodies, but their numbers are decreasing fast. This decline is mainly due to changes in the environment, like pollution, loss of natural habitats, and the use of chemicals in farming. As we continue to change our world, we may be the last generation to enjoy the magical sight of fireflies lighting up summer evenings. Fireflies plays an important role in nature. They are not just pretty to look at; they also help control pests and indicate a healthy environment. However, as their habitats are destroyed, they struggle to survive. Many children today may grow up without ever seeing these enchanting creatures flickering in the dusk. It’s a sad thought that future generations may never experience the joy of catching fireflies or watching them dance in the twilight. To protect fireflies, we must take ac...

 🐸 The Alaskan Wood Frog: Nature’s Frozen Miracle Deep in the icy wilderness of Alaska lives one of nature’s most extraordinary creatures — the Alaskan wood frog (Rana sylvatica). At first glance, it looks like any other small brown frog you might find near a pond or forest floor. But beneath its simple appearance lies a survival ability so astonishing that scientists have called it a biological wonder: the power to freeze solid and come back to life. ❄️ Frozen but Not Dead Every winter, temperatures in Alaska can drop far below freezing — a deadly environment for most amphibians. But when the cold arrives, the Alaskan wood frog does something remarkable: it allows itself to freeze completely. Its heart stops beating, its lungs stop breathing, and even its blood turns to ice For up to seven months, the frog remains frozen stiff — like a tiny statue buried beneath the snow.
