Project: Infocommunication for Schools
|
In March 2002, during the ICT Symposium YUINFO 2002,
Ericsson donated computer and multimedia teaching material to the
Elementary School "Sutjeska" in the scope of the Gender Equality
Project "ICT for Schools". School has only first four elementary
grades, with 18 pupils. School children have lessons "in combination",
which means that the first and the third grade are having lessons
together, and also the second and the fourth grade in the other
shift. Two teachers are conducting the whole education process.
It was the first computer and ICT experience both for the teachers
and the children.
One year later, NGO "Equal Opportunities" visited again
the small school in Kopaonik. During the year, teacher Violeta reported
regularly their progress and expressed the happiness with the positive
change that the computer brought to their way of work, and even
everyday life.
The use of computer made possible the innovation of
the teaching process: alphabet was easier to learn with animated
elementary reading book with letter 'A' that was talking and singing...
With material on audio CD it was much easier to select the song
that was planned for the lesson, instead of endless winding/rewinding
of audio tapes. Children started to use programs for drawing and
filled the walls with nice and imaginative drawings of their new
friend - the Computer.
Teacher Violeta modestly said that one printer would
help them to improve even more with the possibility to print questions
and exercises. Ericsson supported again the Project "ICT for Schools"
and donated the printer, with great pleasure that this initiative
has so visible positive result.
