Deployment Country and Target School
Ethiopia, Asella Hamle 19 primary school
Project Idea
we will work with children by allow peer collaboration.This will give children the opportunity to both teach and learn from their peers. we will 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 as OLPC ensures that we will have our own laptops and high-bandwidth connectivity. We will 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
