Contents of project proposal


General Overview


Universities: Dalarna University & Royal Institute of Technology(KTH), Sweden
Team Name: Ethio_Swed_ OLPCorps Team
Team Memembers: Dagmawi S. Tesfa and Demerew K. Tesfaye
Deployment country: Ethiopia


Answer the basics


Where: Target School: Arsi Kersa primary school, munesa district and Eteya primary school, Eteya distric, Ethiopia
Who: Target Class: kersa primary school of grade four students (Grade 4)
When: between June and August 09

How will you work with children


Even if students are on break between June 09 and August 09, we have arrenged with our local partner, who has a close contact and woriking with community as well as management members of the school to arrange a schedule for the avalability of student during this period
OLPC ensures that teachers will have their own laptops and high-bandwidth connectivity, we have a means of supporting them that previously did not exist. Teachers, parents, and concerned experts can join in to create new learning networks to improve educational thinking and practices
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 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
make quality education critical for human and social development

Address how you will deal with children and learning with their schedule (Deployment and training will be school based as follows)


1. Set meeting with our local partners (Oromia development association, Arsi branch), Eteya farmers coperative union, school mangement and comminity representative
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
3. Teaching students with the teachers that we traind them
4. Handout of computers and training of students and teachers in class, after school and at weekends
5. Continuing training and integration of XO’s after the end of August
6. promote collaborative learning and … provide individualized instruction
7. learning in laptop classrooms is often more self-directed
8. Teachers in laptop classrooms are more willing to assign presentations and multimedia projects to students, and score them
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
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

Who is the local partner


Eteya Farmers cooperative Union and Oromia Development association Arsi branch

How will you follow-up (Supervision)


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
