I-SchoolScape 2026 eyabanjwa ngoFebhuwari yenza ushintsho olulodwa lwaba lukhulu ukuba lungabonwa. Emuva kwezitendi eziya ngokwanda kwakuhleli isikrini, futhi kuleso sikrini kwakukhona ideshibhodi elilandelela igumbi lonke lamadivayisi axhunyiwe. Ikhithi ayisewona wonke umkhiqizo. Lokho izikole manje ezikukalayo yipulatifomu ye-IoT yasekilasini: umbono ophilayo odonsa idatha yezinzwa kuwo wonke amadeski futhi ovumela uthisha ukuphatha ihadiwe njengeqoqo elilodwa. Lo mbhalo uchaza ukuthi lawa mapulatifomu enzani, ukuthi kungani lo mkhuba ubalulekile, nokuthi ungayikala kanjani ipulatifomu ngaphambi kokuchitha imali.

Okwavela phansi endaweni yombukiso

Iminyaka embalwa ingxenye yamarobhothi nokubhala ikhodi embukisweni wezikole yayibukeka ifana nyakenye nakulo nyaka. Amabhokisi amabhodi, udonga lwezintambo zokuxhuma, nerobhothi lomboniso lijikeleza itafula. Kulo nyaka abaningi balaba bathengisi abafanayo babengeze okuthile ngemuva komboniso: ideshibhodi elixhunyiwe. Esikhundleni sebhodi elilodwa elenza umlingo, iqoqo lamadivayisi lalibika izinga lokushisa, ukukhanya nokunyakaza kusikrini esisodwa umethuli abekwazi ukusikhomba.

Yileso siginali esifanele ukuqanjwa igama. Isikhungo samandla siyasuka entweni esekwideski siye kusofthiwe ehlanganisa igumbi lonke lezinto. Ikhithi elilodwa ngumkhiqizo owuthengisa kanye. Ipulatifomu iyinto isikole esihlala ngaphakathi kwayo ithemu yonke, okuwukuthenga okwehluke kakhulu.

Yini eyenziwa ngempela yipulatifomu ye-IoT yasekilasini

Susa amagama emikhiqizo bese lawa mathuluzi enza imisebenzi emibili. Owokuqala yimfundiso ngedatha ephilayo. Idivayisi ngayinye yomfundi iba yinodi yenzwa, futhi izifundo zayo zigeleza zibe umbono owodwa owabelwanwayo. Ikilasi lingabuka amadeski angamashumi amathathu ebika amazinga okukhanya ngasikhathi sinye, liqhathanise ikhona eliseduze kwewindi nelo eliseduze komnyango, bese licabangela ukuthi kungani izinombolo zehlukene. Idatha iyeka ukuba yiphepha lomsebenzi ibe yinto igumbi eliyikhiqiza ndawonye, ngesikhathi sangempela.

Umsebenzi wesibili ukuphathwa kweqoqo lamadivayisi, futhi yingxenye engakhangi kangako enquma ukuthi ilebhu iyasebenza yini ngempela. Iphendula imibuzo eyisicefe uthisha ayibuza ngo-8 ekuseni. Yimaphi amadivayisi ase-inthanethi. Yiliphi elehlile ku-Wi-Fi. Yiliphi elisadinga ukubuyekezwa kwe-firmware ngaphambi kwesifundo. Ukuphatha amabhodi angamashumi amathathu ngesandla, intambo eyodwa ngesikhathi, yisona sizathu esithule sokuthi amakhithi amaningi amahle agcina esekhabetheni. Ideshibhodi elibonisa iqoqo lonke ngokushesha ngokuvamile yilo umehluko phakathi kwelebhu esetshenziswayo naleyo engasetshenziswa.

Kungani lo mkhuba ubalulekile ezikoleni

Ekufundiseni, ukukhanga kungokweqiniso. Idatha yezinzwa ebuyekezwa ngenkathi ukhuluma inika isifundo sesayensi noma sokubhala ikhodi ubukhali obuphilayo igrafu emile engenakubunika. Abafundi babona imbangela nomphumela kufika ngokushesha, futhi ikilasi lingabuza umbuzo bese liwuphendula kuwo lawo mashumi amane emizuzu. Lokho kuwukuthuthuka kwangempela kwendlela yokufundisa, hhayi nje isikrini esibukeka kangcono.

Kwezokusebenza, icala liqinile ngokufanayo futhi kulula ukulibukela phansi. Ipulatifomu iphendula inqwaba yehadiwe ebuthakathaka ibe yinto uthisha oyedwa angayiqhuba ngaphandle kokubiza uchwepheshe. Esimweni saseNingizimu Afrika kufanele futhi ikwazi ukumelana nezimo zangempela zasekhaya. Ukucishwa kukagesi kuzowisa inethiwekhi yakho phakathi kwesifundo, ngakho ipulatifomu kufanele yehluleke ngenhlonipho kunokuthi ilahlekelwe umsebenzi wonke. Ukuxhumeka akulingani phakathi kwesikole sasedolobheni esinezinsiza neselokishini lasemakhaya, ngakho noma yini ecabanga ukuthi kunoxhumano lwe-inthanethi olukhulu olungapheli izodumaza othile.

Kunohlangothi oluphambene okufanele lushiwo ngokusobala. Ipulatifomu iphinde ibe yindawo ongabhajwa kuyo. Uma nje ithemu yezinhlelo zezifundo, ama-akhawunti abafundi nedatha egciniwe sekuhlala ngaphakathi kwedeshibhodi lomthengisi oyedwa, ukushintsha kamuva kubuhlungu. Yingakho kanye isinqumo sokuthenga sidinga ukuhlolisiswa okungaphezu kwalokho okwake kwadingwa yibhokisi lamakhithi.

Uhlu lokuhlola lomthengi ngaphambi kokuzibophezela

Uma isikole sakho sikala elinye lala mapulatifomu kulo nyaka, hamba kulokhu okulandelayo ngaphambi kokusayina noma yini.

• Ukusebenza ngaphandle kwe-inthanethi. Buza ukuthi kwenzekani lapho inethiwekhi iwa phakathi kwesifundo. Impendulo eqotho kufanele ibe ukuthi umsebenzi wehla kancane ngokucophelela, hhayi ukuthi uma nya.
• Ubunikazi bedatha nemfihlo. Idatha yabafundi ihlala kule sistimu. Qinisekisa ukuthi ngubani onayo, ukuthi igcinwe kuphi, nokuthi ukuphathwa kwayo kuhambisana ne-POPIA. Kufanele ukwazi ukuyithekelisa nokuyisusa.
• I-firmware nezibuyekezo. Hlola ukuthi amadivayisi abuyekezwa kanjani. Ukuphusha ngokuchofoza kanye kusukela kwideshibhodi kungcono kunokuxhuma amabhodi angamashumi amathathu nge-USB njalo lapho kukhishwa isilungiso.
• Ukubhajwa kwihadiwe. Ingabe ipulatifomu isebenza namakhithi osuvele unawo, noma isebenza kuphela namabhodi omthengisi? Ukusekelwa okuxubile kukunika ithuba lokunyakaza kamuva.
• Umbono kathisha ngokumelene nombono womfundi. Ipulatifomu enhle ihlukanisa lokhu kokubili ngokucacile, ukuze uthisha abone iqoqo lonke kanti abafundi babone umsebenzi wabo kuphela.
• Izindleko eziphelele, hhayi intengo esesitikeni. Bhajetha izipele, izinzwa zokushintsha, noxhumano ipulatifomu ecabanga ukuthi lukhona. Umthetho onqamulelayo ukubeka eceleni amaphesenti ayishumi kuya kweshumi nanhlanu emalini echithwe kumakhithi ukuze uthenge izipele ngonyaka wokuqala.
• Ukuhambisana nekharikhulamu. Amadeshibhodi aphilayo ayakhanga embonisweni. Cela ukuwabona ehlelwe ngokwezifundo zangempela ezihambisana ne-CAPS othisha bakho abangazenza ngaphandle kwamasonto okulungiselela.

Lapho i-sheen ifaka khona isandla

Iseluleko esingenhla asikhethi mthengisi ngamabomu, ngoba uhlu lokuhlola lubaluleke ngaphezu kwelogo. Ezikoleni ezifuna isibonelo esisebenzayo saleli phethini, ipulatifomu yethu i-sheenIoT yakhelwe leyo misebenzi emibili efanayo: ideshibhodi eliphilayo lekilasi lamadivayisi axhunyiwe, kanye nokubonakala kweqoqo ukuze uthisha abone okuse-inthanethi ngaphambi kokushaya kwensimbi. Ihambisana nebhodi i-sheenbot infinity futhi, lapho ihadiwe ishoda noma inethiwekhi ingasebenzi, abafundi bangaqhubeka bakhe besebenzisa isilingisi i-sheenVerse esikhundleni sokuma. Othisha abafuna ukuzama uhlangothi lokufundisa ngaphambi kokuthinta ihadiwe bangaqala nge-Academy. Noma ngabe ukhetha ini, qala uyihambise ohlwini lokuhlola.

Okusalayo

I-SchoolScape 2026 yaqinisekisa ukuthi amapulatifomu e-IoT asekilasini asuka isigaba sawo esizimele, hhayi into eyengezwa ekhithini. Lezo yizindaba ezinhle ekufundiseni, ngoba idatha yezinzwa ephilayo yenza isifundo sifike, futhi yizindaba ezinhle nasekusebenzeni, ngoba iqoqo olibonayo yiqoqo ongaliqhuba. Khumbula nje ukuthi ipulatifomu iyisibopho eside kunebhokisi lamabhodi. Yikale ngokuthi iziphatha kanjani lapho inethiwekhi iwa, ukuthi ngubani onedatha, nokuthi ungahamba kalula kangakanani. Lungisa lokho bese ideshibhodi lizuza indawo yalo odongeni.

Ingabe ipulatifomu ye-IoT yasekilasini iyafaneleka esikoleni esincane?

Ingafaneleka, uma impumuzo ekusebenzeni ingeyangempela kuwe. Inani liphakeme kakhulu lapho uthisha oyedwa kumele aqhube amadivayisi amaningi ngaphandle kochwepheshe. Uma unamakhithi ambalwa kuphela, uhlangothi lokuphatha iqoqo alubalulekile kangako futhi ukusetha okulula kungakusiza kangcono.

Ingabe izosebenza ngesikhathi sokucishwa kukagesi?

Kuphela uma yakhelwe lokho. Cela umthengisi akubonise isifundo siqhubeka inethiwekhi ikhishiwe. Amapulatifomu agcina idatha endaweni bese eyivumelanisa kamuva abekezela kangcono kakhulu ezimweni zaseNingizimu Afrika kunalawo adinga uxhumano oluhlala lukhona.
