arusha internet training for scribes

I am Marc Nkwame, a writer representing the Daily News publications in Arusha.

I love to work in this city because of its agreeable weather and the fact that being small you can always cover the whole of it within a day.

Like many other scribes here I am delighted to be attending the ‘Internet training course’ for journalists in the northern zone this week. The workshop is taking place at the ‘Summit Center’ complex in the Arusha Computer training outlet of the University of Dar-Es-Salaam.

We are learning a lot of new things despite the fact that many of us have been using the internet as our basic working tool for years to an extent of even taking the web for granted. This is just the first day, I hope to gain even more as time goes by.

After the course winds up next Friday, I intend to be well informed enough to establish my own blog (this may not be new concept only that the training may help me come up with better approach) as well as carry out a lot of online transactions, including making purchases, buying travel tickets and even downloading stuff such as games, films and music.

The training is also a good opportunity to meet and interact with fellow journalists from other regions. There are 22 of us attending the workshop with some scribes hailing from as far as Tanga, Manyara and Kilimanjaro regions.
