Plan of Action

HOC Team Member at Work

1. Develop a curriculum and program that can be implemented using the features of the XO and by collecting browse able current material relevant to HIV/AIDS.

Schools in Kenya have recently introduced lessons in life skills, specifically for HIV/AIDS. The predicament is that there is a big shortage of teachers to utilize this time maximumly especially in the rural areas where our project will based. The schools are willing and welcoming to external support.

2. Schools and groups in the rural areas will be given the first priority. We will start with Bungoma and Busia Districts. A similar programmme will be extended to the neighbouring schools, civic, fFaith-based groups and NGOs according to available time.

3. The team has studied the objectives of the school curriculum and designed lessons for learners based on the objectives of the curriculum of HIV/AIDS.

4. We will visit people living with AIDS,orphans,widows to take pictures,videos and tape the stories on XO that will be watched and listened to during lessons.The nearby health centres and hospitals with AIDS patients will be appropriate for us to get information to be stored on XO for our lessons.

5. The objective is to concretise the information on HIV/AIDS by use of videos, pictures, diagrams some drawn by the learners themselves on the XO laptops..It is noted that most of the information delivered to students in schools is abstract and teacher- centered. XO technology will provide an interactive,concrete and learner-centered approach that is motivating to the learners.

6. The leader and participants will also organize for training of teachers in various schools on the use of XO laptops in order for them to support in teaching using XO technology.Some weekends can used for this training.

7. Actualization of the program using an XO allows users to express their feelings in a safe place, where they have tools to write and create and communicate with their peers.

School Curriculum

• First few lessons of implementation in schools and centres will be used to train and aid the learners on how to use and handle XO laptops.
• They shall also be required to draw diagrams and paint using XO on materials related to AIDS.
• Discussion and chatting using XO-Learners will take some time to exchange ideas at some distance on topics provided by specialists using interlink on XO.
• Materials from wiki.The group will download information from wiki on internet on various topics as adviced by specialists in various organizations,stored on XO and then learners will use it in different sessions as guided by the participants in our group.
• Faith-based group programmes-Youths,children and other groups’ programmes will be utilized to provide an interactive,concrete approach to HIV/AIDS education as opposed to abstract approaches provided by most groups.

Learning Activities

• Using the activity on the XO to write familiar information, question/ answer on HIV/AIDs.

• Taking and viewing video/ photographs

• Reacting to photographs/ videos.

• Recording and listening to stories.

• Drawing diagrams of organs/ Body parts, state of people living with AIDs.

• Charting with classmates using OX chart activities on issues of HIV/Aids.

• Use Wikipedia on the XO to find. Meanings and descriptions of words/parts and situations in Aids.

• Using games on the XO to socialize with friends/knowing about others.

3. High school drop out rate of learners due to loss of parents and guardians is a big social problem

4. Counter the many myths of beliefs in Kenya that aid the spread of HIV/AIDS

5. The XO machines are suitable because they are

a. simplified and tailored for children

b. uses less power and are therefore suitable for Kenya rural communities;

c. XOs are portable and equipped with relevant information for children to express themselves

Sharing and Deliverables
