Learning activities/Interviews

Notes from Nigeria 5/07

Children brought different kinds of interviews. One child asked his brother to interview him. So, he is the one answering the questions (Idea that I found very creative.) He was very proud that the setting was his dad's pickup. One girl interviewed her cousin. She asked one question, and he talked and talked for like 15 minutes, really enjoying being recorded. A drawback is the poor quality of the recordings because the interviewee is farther away from the XO than the interviewer... --Carla Gomez Monroy, Learning Consultant, OLPC
