Mission: Reduce failure by using the Google Classroom application, which will allow the availability of more efficient and interactive study tools. If you believe in the relevance of our project, please support and login with us!
São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country with a predominantly young population (43% under the age of 14) and with a high drop out rate. This phenomenon occurs due to the difficult access to the academic institutions and the poor quality of the school infrastructures. School failure is also partly due to poor teacher training. Something that is so simple for us, like resorting to a manual to study the subject for a test, is an adversity for the people of São Paulo. Therefore, our project seeks to combat the intensity of this problem through means involving students and teachers, thus generating a better educational dynamics and techniques that establish innovations both in school content and in the way they are taught.
Thus, our project, Login São Tomé, aims to reduce school failure through the dynamism of teaching through digital, using a Google application (Google Classroom), which will allow us to provide more efficient and interactive study tools for the students of Santon.
In this context, our project will have as target audience, a class from the 10th grade of Neves secondary school, collaborating with the teachers of the same. It will focus on three major action plans:
- ICT training: a training with the aim of promoting technological literacy in students.
- Teacher training: training to create program content and adoption of more innovative and inclusive teaching techniques.
- Finally, the Club of Citizenship and Digital Inclusion (CDI): that is a meeting point between students and teachers promoting in this way, the integration in the school context. This club will foster the creation of play-pedagogical activities in the themes of technology, citizenship and culture, as well as the creation of programmatic contents to aid the study.
So we launched the invitation. If you believe in the importance of education do "LOGIN" with us !!!
