* Arizona State University Case Studing Scratch Kids Programming Application |
|||
We are currently in need of 30 laptops to case study Scratch in the public schools. The purpose of this project is to study the effects of computer programming in the classrooms. The Problem is NSF reports the Educational frameworks must teach students innovation and creativity in the science and math curriculums for new technologies to thrive. A fundamental shift of views about knowledge and expertise and learning requires reconsideration and to redesign our formal educational system. The objective is to actively engage learners to construct their own ideas. The National Science Foundation (NSF) reports the root of the problem comes from the educational framework and curriculum that has to be re-worked and MUST focus on teaching creativity and innovation |
|||
<br/><br/>STEM literacy’s outlines creativity and innovation as a key focus (ISTE, 2007) |
|||
<br/><br/>As the US continues to strive toward building capacity for a highly educated workforce in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields, educational organizations have constructed frameworks that outline critical STEM literacy’s that need to be cultivated in K-12 education in order to achieve this goal. The central question for effective science teaching is how we can teach better scientific reasoning, allowing our students to do more than observe phenomena, push equations, and flounder in inconsistencies between everyday knowledge and the reasoning of science. Learning is an active process in which people construct new understandings of the world around them through active exploration, experimentation, discussion, and reflection. |
|||
<br/><br/>The Significance of this case study is preparing our future for a technologically advanced society |
|||
<br/><br/>The ability to integrate technology in the mathematics classroom is essential for future elementary grade school teachers as they enter the classroom being required to be able to prepare students for a technologically advanced society. How teachers learned subject matter is not necessarily the way their student will need to be taught in the 21st century. A fundamental shift about knowledge and expertise and learning requires a redesign of our formal educational system and pedagogy. TIMMS 2007 key educational outcomes in the Group of Eight (G-8) countries show 15 year old American students are scoring lower on average than many of their G-8 peers on each of the three science literacy subscales; identifying scientific issues, explaining phenomena scientifically, and using scientific evidence. |

This isolated area, where poverty and malnutrition pervade, is inhabited by thirteen indigenous tribes and whose literacy rates are lowest in the nation, even for a country like Bangladesh. The indigenous tribal children live scattered on mountaintops and only have access to a few schools with severely limited resources. The Golden Hour Project will make it possible for these children to access better and more comprehensive primary school education. More details and a website will follow soon. |

*'''[http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Somaliland OLPC Somaliland]''' - Somaliland is one of the poorest, underdeveloped countries in the world. The most recent statistics show that the total enrolment in primary and secondary schools in Somaliland was 200,000 (less than 20% of all school aged children). The Somaliland ministry of education hopes to increase literacy levels across the country to 75 percent by 2015. Currently there are no resources available for students to aid with their learning after school throughout Somaliland, and students often go to the streets rather than complete their homework/projects. We see OLPC Somaliland as an initiative, which will aim to improve both teaching and learning standards in some of the poorest schools in Somaliland. We hope that launching OLPC Somaliland will ameliorate the government’s target to increase literacy and numeracy rates of school-aged children. |

*'''[[One Laptop Per - Teacher Educator, Student Teacher, Class Teacher - Child: Moneague College St. Ann, Jamaica]] ([http://olpcjamaica.org.jm/ blog])''' - The Moneague College is a teacher training institution, preparing student teachers to become class teachers in the Jamaican education system. The college has joined the OLPC Jamaica Team committing to introduce Sugar and the XOs to the student teachers who will then use Sugar activities in their lessons on teaching practice for 5 subjects: Math, Language Arts, Science, Music and Physical Education. The goal is to create a bank of lesson plans and videos that would be accessed by local teachers when Sugar and XOs come to them. More specifically, the student teachers and their lesson plans will assist class teachers at two Kingston schools (Providence Basic and August Town Primary) where the OLPC Jamaica team from the University of the West Indies (UWI) Mona has XO deployments. |

*'''[[Rehnuma Public School Karachi - Collaborative Learning and Peer to Peer Teaching]] ([http://olpckarachipakistan.wordpress.com/ blog])''' - Our objective is to demonstrate not only that OLPC laptops can greatly enhance education in a neighborhood school for poor children, but to test a new plan providing education using OLPC computers, by assigning three students per computer. The students will be on a sixth grade level. Children will be grouped into groups of three, called trios, by their teacher. Each trio should have a child identified by the teacher from the high, low and middle level of accomplishment. The children's tasks will be shared, hopefully with the higher level children teaching the lower level children as well as acquiring the skills of sharing, teaching, articulating, which will further advance their own skills. |

*'''[[Roadshow_in_a_Box|Roadshow In A Box-Update]]''' - This is a much needed update. Now that the XO-1.5 has come out, it is time to include some of these new machines in the Roadshow. Since it was first started in 2008, the Roadshow In A Box Project has reached hundreds, or perhaps even thousands, of people at conventions and conferences in the Southern California area. Workshops and demonstrations have been presented at locations in both California and Montana. The Roadshow started with 3 XO-1s plus the project leader's G1G1 machine. Additional broken laptops that were repaired were added to increase the number of machines available for workshops and the project has been able to make short term loans of a few laptops to people and groups interested in planning their own project. These activities will continue with the addition of the "latest XO-1.5 technology." |

*<b> [http://www.infernotech.co.cc/index-2.html Prakash Educational Software Package (ESP)] ([http://blog.infernotech.co.cc blog]) </b> - The objective of the project is to sugarize Prakash Educational Software Package (ESP) in order to run on XO laptops. Originally developed in Microsoft C#.NET, the software package consists of three applications viz. Guided Writing, Multi Point and eScribe. Each of the application is designed in such a way to target a specific learning skill of an individual and caters to the learning competencies of primary school children i.e. reading, writing, listening and speech skills. Furthermore, one of the applications also utilises the concept of Multi Point that enables multiple mice input in an application and allows collaborative learning between children. To mould these applications for XO Laptops, these need to be re-developed using Mono to sugarize C#.

*'''[http://ambrymxo.wordpress.com Language Documentation and XO Laptops]''' The participants are currently documenting several languages in the Southwest of the island of Ambrym, Vanuatu. The project work involves audio and video recordings, which will lead to the production of dictionaries, story books and grammars for the previously undocumented and undescribed languages. Due to the lack of devices with the capacity to display accustic and visual information, however, local communities will hardly have access to the audio and video recordings. Also, the opportunities for speakers to actively participate in the documentation of their languages and traditional knowledge themselves are very limited. The laptops provided by the OLPC project would help to make recordings accessible to the communities as well as empower the youngest generations to use modern technologies to explore and record the traditional knowledge which is in acute danger of being lost. |
|||
*'''[[Projects/Competitive Learning|Competitive Learning within a Mesh Network]]''' - The project's aim is to develop an activity framework for competitive learning and training activities over the mesh network. Two or more teams within a learning environment compete against each other. They can see the training effort of their own and of the other teams, compare their own achievements, gain awards for achieving teacher defined training goals. They see in real time which team members of their own or other teams are actively workin at the moment and which challenges their team and the other teams are actually facing. So pupils can be motivated to train their skills in a special way. ''You are encouraged to integrate your own activities into the framework.''

*<b> Marysville Rotary XO Literacy Project [http://www.clubrunner.ca/Portal/SitePages/SitePage.aspx?cid=275&pid=61314] - Barillas, Guatemala & Marysville, Washington USA </b> - Our project is a multi-part process that will help improve the educational environment and lives of the children around Barillas, Guatemala and within the Marysville Public School System. Studies have shown that early exposure to quality educational computer programs dramatically improve a young child's creative thinking process, thus increasing test scores. Marysville Rotary has been traveling to Guatemala for over 12 years helping to improve the lives of the Mayan children by providing health services, constructing schools and providing books for the villages surrounding Barillas, Guatemala. Our plan is to expand the program with our local High School students writing computer programs in several of the Mayan Spanish dialects, through a Computer Language Programming course. Through this course, we will be providing our local young adults with skills needed in the 21st century, while at the same time creating the useful programming needed to assist the learning of the Mayan students in Guatemala, and increase access to the XO world. In addition, by creating a school XO repair facility, our students will acquire computer and technology skills requested by many corporations in our local geographical area, such as Boeing, Microsoft and Bio-Tech firms. |

* '''[[Projects/Offline_Lessons|Offline Lessons for Lesotho Deployments]]''' ([http://olpc2010-lesotho.blogspot.com/ blog])- Our goal is to provide a complete collection of offline lessons for XO laptop deployments in Lesotho without internet access. Our deployments in Lesotho are in remote areas that have no internet service, so the vast resources found online are not available to them. We will collect, adapt, and/or develop a full school year’s worth of XO laptop lessons for all grades 1-7, starting with math and English. Some lessons will be provided in both English and Sesotho, the local language. The purpose of these lessons is to supplement Lesotho’s national primary school curriculum and textbooks. They will be designed to help enable students to learn more effectively, foster further exploration and learning, and develop the more advanced cognitive skills not currently acquired under the traditional educational system in Lesotho. Our lessons will be designed primarily to be self-taught by the student or a group of students working together. Using the Learn Activity, students will be able to work through the lessons at their own pace. |

Starting on an OLPC Project
Contributor Projects provide new and creative ways to enhance the educational experience of the OLPC program. Past projects have included the development of creative activities and software; the creation of content, collections, and resources; the testing and assessment of other ideas; and a wide variety of related work--from the theoretical to the experimental.
There are two ways you can contribute to OLPC projects
- Propose your own idea using Project Proposal Form on Contributors page
- Help a project already in progress with your ideas and skills on Participate page.
For projects requiring XOs, they can either send proposal for the same on Contributors page or can borrow one from XO Laptop Lending Library near them.
Below you can see a list of active projects already underway contributing to the OLPC vision. Click on the name of any linked activity for detailed information about its design and development status. If you are a contributor, please make sure that your project is listed in one of the sections below or on a related page.
