=== Address how you will deal with children and learning with their schedule (Deployment and training will be school based as follows) ===
<br />1. Set meeting with our local partners (Oromia development association, Arsi branch), Eteya farmers coperative union, school mangement and comminity representative<br />
2. Training of selected teachers (training of traines) sponsered by the local parteners, during working hours including weekends. The traind teachers will be responsibe to support and monitor students after Augest 09<br />
3. Teaching students with the teachers that we traind them<br />
4. Handout of computers and training of students and teachers in class, after school and at weekends<br />
5. Continuing training and integration of XO’s after the end of August<br />
6. promote collaborative learning and … provide individualized instruction<br />
7. learning in laptop classrooms is often more self-directed<br />
8. Teachers in laptop classrooms are more willing to assign presentations and multimedia projects to students, and score them<br />
9. students as well as teachers gather and move around to work on projects this frees teachers to roam about the room helping those who have problems or need remediation<br />
10. Teachers in laptop classrooms are more willing to assign presentations and multimedia projects to students, and score them using customized, project-driven rubrics and even self-assessments<br />


We have finished project related deal with our local partner ODA, who has a close contact and working with the school, community as well as stackholders such as province education offices, teachers, and community representatives. ODA agreed and confirmed on the ''letter of support'' to arrange meetings to create awareness as well as to organize children to return back from summer break for the tutor according to the schedule.

General Overview

Deployment Country and Target School


Hamle 19 primary school, Asella city, Arsi zone, Oromia state, Ethiopia

Communication


Both of our team member can speak the language of the community where we will be working. So,there is no problem with this regards

Deployment, dealing with children and their schedule


Secured store for laptops, server, accessories and other materials belongs to OLPCORPs team related to the project will be provided by Oromia Development Association(ODA) at main office (Addis Ababa) and at branch office( Arsi zone, Asella City).

We have finished project related deal with our local partner ODA, who has a close contact and working with the school, community as well as stackholders such as province education offices, teachers, and community representatives. ODA agreed and confirmed on the letter of support to arrange meetings to create awareness as well as to organize children to return back from summer break for the tutor according to the schedule. Furthermore, ODA also promised to arrange and provide facilities such as classrooms, desks, benches and office furniture’s.

Project Idea


We will work with children by allowing peer collaboration, which grant the opportunity to teach and learn from their peers. We will motivate and assist students to involve their local community using interviewing the community, and/or researching their family. We will also support students, teachers, parents, and concerned experts to join and create new learning networks to improve educational thinking and practices. We will also help students learn using technology and reflect on this learning. We need to engage them in those learning methodologies that are enhanced by connected laptops: the design and construction of personally meaningful objects are using a variety of computational and traditional materials—a more diversified, humanistic, holistic approach to learning than previously was logistically possible. When children bring the laptops home with them, many parents began adult education courses at night using the laptops. Many families chose to move into communities with laptop programs. Children develop the skills to do normal maintenance on their laptops. Most important, though, is that the children engage more deeply in learning and school work over the year; the computer helps deepen this interaction and make quality education critical for human and social development

Our local partners and Future Sustainability of the Project

Even if children’s will be on summer break during our arrival, they will create environment with the community representatives, schools and children to provide a tutor.

(2)In order to ensure continuos technical support we are partnering with Adama University, Asella Compus Under the coordination and financial support of Arsi Farmers cooperative Union and the letter of support coming soon
(3) Ethiopia Engineering Capacity Building :-we will share experiance from the previous deployment project implemented by Ethiopia Engineering Capacity Building and we will try to integrate the previous deployment project so that our project will be the part of the previous project after august

Monitoring and Evaluation


We will train students and teachers parallelly, and enabling teachers to fully take care of teaching. Farmers cooperative Union and Oromia Development association as local partners, will take care of the monitoring capable of maintaining the deployment after we leave, oversee and support the program after August assisted by Oromia Development association, which will provide back-up, further training and supervision and which will liaise with the local community
