TANGIBLE DIFFERENCE MADE IN LEARNERS EDUCATION Learners way of learning changed They can use technology tools to do their assignments
and project Once a month they read on Skype to people outside
and they love it Got used to different languages and tone on skype Learners confidence very high Once a week the elder once teach the younger once in
media Lab. Groomed leaders. Educators augment their teaching and learning
approach by using technology tools Communication with parents is done through apps Analysis of results is done through white space boards
and over head projector
REPLICABLE/SCALABLE We are a mentoring school in many projects:
Technology
Workshops Seminars Blog access Social media Webinars Word of mouth
LESSON LEARNT Learners results can be improved through
technology tools Technology project created young
leaders/teacher Learners learn through creating knowledge
not by absorbing it Listening span is short as such they want to
do/create Parents way of communication with school
has improved( use whats app or school face book)
Educators way of teaching has also improved because of the skills they acquired from technology tools.
PERSEVERANCE AND PERSISTENCE
