The Second Day

This was as well good day just like yesterday. As usual I like the way lectures are planed and delvered to us (Trainees). The participatory method of learning is very useful to us as it makes us understand critically how to do the actual activity that we need to do.

The major activity on the second day was to make intensive on internet information search. We have searched different information including information about Uhuru Kenyatta accussation in ICC, Zambia friendly International footbal match against Brazil and many training on how to update and upload website links on blogspots accounts. We also wrote articles and publish them in our blogspot accounts.

I actually planned very well how to collect information from different websites and write a good article.

Managerless Chipolopolo faces Samba boys in Beijing

Zambia National Football Team will face Scolary squad in International friendly match in Beijing China today. Zambia, meanwhile, head into the game without a permanent head coach after Herve Renard ended his time in charge of the nation to take over at French club Sochaux.
Zambia is the fact that the Chipolopolo’s best three players – Rainford Kalaba, Stopilla Sunzu and Nathan Sinkala – will not be available.
Brazil, the five-time world champions will also play without goalkeeper Julio Cesar (finger), defender Thiago Silva (thigh) and striker Fred (thigh) against the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations champions.


Chipolopolo in Beijing China

Football Association of Zambia president Kalusha Bwalya has described the match against the highest profile encounter in Zambia’s soccer history.

“I might be wrong but I think this is the highest profile match Zambia has ever played in its entire history,” said Kalusha, the 1988 Africa footballer-of-the-year.
The match will kick off at 13:45hours.

Training Day One

    As usual it was very good day on my side. Infact I enjoyed the training. Mr. Peik has been good facilitator particularly on the mode of delvering his lectures. I like very much, since it makes students to participate fully in lessons.
    Unlike many other lecturers, especialy here in Africa, they use much more theory than practices. This make students understand more on theory than puting the lessons into effect.
    Actualy, what could be my challenge and ofcorse I would comment is time. I can suggest to leave the class at around 16:00 hours this is due to the traffic problem in our roads.
    On the first day we learnt the meanings of investigative journalism and investigative internet journalism. Then learnt how to get different information from internet and how to verify the facts. All together we did search both simple and a bit complex information from different websites. For instance we searched Kikwete statement on Kisarawe land investors, population of Iringa, president of Egypt, Obama Tanzania, Finland Tanzania, Precision air annual profit, height of mount Kilimanjaro etc.
    All these had been done after either updating the previous blog acounts of trainees or opening new blogs.
     Finally the class was closed at around 16:45 hours.
That's summary of the first day of training.
