Detail description of Project proposal

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
