I am Daniel Kamau, a practising teacher with the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), an ICT Champion, seasoned KNEC examiner and item writer, AI & EdTech specialist, digital skills trainer, online teacher trainer and facilitator from Nyandarua County, Kenya.
With 5 years of teaching experience, my work sits at the intersection of classroom practice, teacher professional development and digital innovation. I have reached 50+ schools directly and supported many more educators and learners indirectly through free online trainings and communities.
I am committed to bridging the digital divide in rural schools, helping teachers access practical technology, delivering online sensitisation and capacity-building sessions for teachers, and supporting schools to use remote-learning methodologies when distance, resources or circumstances make conventional learning difficult.

02 / CLASSROOM PRACTICE
Technology that starts in the classroom.
My work as a trainer is grounded in daily classroom practice. I continue to teach, experiment, reflect and adapt—using technology where it adds genuine value to learning and keeping learner needs at the centre.
Learner development • Digital skills • Code Club
I use digital tools and AI to support lesson preparation, learner engagement, assessment, feedback, creativity and differentiated learning. I connect these approaches to the realities of a Kenyan CBC/CBE classroom rather than treating technology as an end in itself.
Beyond classroom teaching, I mentor learners in coding, computational thinking, chess and basketball, and I support a Code Club that gives learners opportunities to create, collaborate and solve problems.

Building confident, digitally capable learners.
My classroom practice connects digital skills, creativity and purposeful technology use with real learner experiences. The portfolio evidence includes learner digital-learning activities as well as photographs of me facilitating teacher and school-based learning.
I support learners to use technology as a tool for learning, assessment, creativity and problem-solving, not simply as a device to consume content.

09 / RURAL INNOVATION
Technology in a rural school.
At Michore Comprehensive School, our school is a Showcase School Pathfinder, and I continue to champion the use of digital resources to support teaching and learning.
Despite the challenges that rural schools may face, our learners are actively using digital resources and exploring technology as part of their learning journey.
I believe rural schools can become powerful centres of innovation when teachers are empowered and learners are given opportunities to explore. I work to bridge the digital divide in rural schools in Nyandarua County and support teachers and schools in practical remote-learning methodologies.
“Where resources may be limited, imagination, innovation, and determination should not be.”
