Monday in moning we was at kagugu in P5B. the staff was Desire, whitney, Elisee, Jean claude, Robert. we tried to explain  students about community problems. we asked them to tell us what they think about community problems and the problems that our society have. they told us many ideas like corruption, violence, over population, deseases, …..

we tried to explain well about their ideas they gave us.  when we finished that we gave them home work . home  work is to choose one in the ideas that they gave us, for example: he/she can choose over population he/she must talk  more about over population ( why over population, bad consequences of over population, how can we against it but they must use their laptops

  AFTERNOON: 1:00 pm i was in P4A and 3:30 pm iwas in P5A ( computer support time)

     IN P5A, i was with teacher Bernadette. we gave the students the text to write in write activity but using table. it was very difficult to the students but we tried to explain them how to do that.

                           CONVERSATION

After that i had a conversation with teacher Venant. I asked him what the different between before that laptops came in that school and in this time of  laptops. and he answered me ” it’s really different because before these laptops the students took all lessons like usually, they slept, they shouted in the class they was not interesting in their lessons. but now all students are interesting in the lessons because these laptops it mean all students have thirsty  to these laptops. But he told me that they are some problems that they meet them like short time and they are many students it’s difficult to check  all student if they understand because of short time he sayed if possible they can give them long time of laptop. and he told me they are happy when we are there because we help them to check the students if they undestand and to teach because they  are many students in class. he sayed  it’s difficult one teacher  to 60 students.

He asked me to help him next time to teach comparison using laptop. for example: big, bigger, biggest.

Wonderful days at nonko

Wenesday and thursady, we was at nonko  in the club of music. the staff was Jean claude, Jimmy, Avram and Tiffany.

Our ambition was to check that all children know to use Record activity( video, audio, photo) and to make all students to feel free to do every things without fear.

  HOW WAS DONE

We entered in the class and we made the circle with children then everyone had to tell his/her name and tell us anything he/she  likes in his/her life then he/she had to do anything about music it can be to dance, sing …. when we finished that every students had to go on audio and we sung the songs and the students recorded that songs.

and then we divised the students in 4 groups and we gave that groups 10 minutes to go out to prepare song but they had to dance that song and they had to use video to record what they do. after 10 minutes they came back in the class  they show us what they have recorded and present it infront of other groups it was competition. and they tried to take some pictures

                In actual sense we had a good time there. and we hope  next time , it will be better than that.

” what i saw is that the students have fear  when they are using  laptops”
