The development of wireless technologies has generated a considerable amount of excitement among practitioners and

academics because it results in shifting the academic environment from traditional classroom restricted setting to open

schools. The use of wireless technologies may be very important in provision of improved quality education for rural parts

of the developing nations that lack a number of necessary facilities. The study conducted a survey among teachers in

primary schools with specific focus on the challenges of the conventional classroom setting in rural Kenya. From the

findings of the study a framework of utilization of wireless technologies is proposed to help overcome some of the

challenges. The paper highlights the possibilities and potentials of the wireless technologies for various functions in the

rural schools through the use of short message service (SMS), podcasting, video and mobile Web services among other

approaches. The paper aims at providing a reference point for decision-makers, planners, teachers and administrators of

developing nations to guide them to the world of wireless technologies.
