Video 1: They are using something called a smart pad. It is like a smart board, but you can actually carry it around. It has a little pen that is attached to the notepad with a wire. At the bottom of the page, there is a button that says go on. They click this once they are done with the assignment.
The people who help them learn are truly people sent by God. These poor African people would not be able to have any education if it weren't for these people. The children easily understand this coricullum of learning. Some of the teachers say it is like they have an actual teacher in their pocket! How awesome that they can get a good education too!
Video 2:
Cybersmart is not just providing a good education for these people, they are also helping them physically too. Starting in 2006, they began giving them clothes, food, and even building houses for them. They started teaching them through digital stories. This made the whole community excited about the opprtunity to learn digitally. Once they are done learning, they can go to the relaxing area in the shade and relax.
The children get up in the morning, get food, and the pray. They pray for a long time, then they head off to school. There, they learn by online courses. Each of them have laptops. They also have many textbooks printed in their language.
Video 3:
These schools don't just have a teacher, they have VERY active classrooms. Sense, these kids have never actually been to school before, they have to have many visuals to help them learn. They have posterboards, laptops, pictures, etc. Their goal is to not just have any ordiary school. They want to make every school in Africa a 21st century school.
What do I mean by 21st century? A school in "the now". A shool all the kids will want to got too. Not just because it's "cool",but because of the great education. Some of their education is better than some of the schools in America. Talk about COOL!! :)
