I will be establishing a permanent computer teaching classroom in Luang Prabang for use by 200 Lao students. The school is free of charge as it is a charity school. The computer curriculum is being based on a UK computer curriculum. I will be in Laos for 3 months setting this up, training the trainers and implementing the programme with all students.
Here are some activities accomplished Jan-Feb 2015:
1. Taught IT to beginner and intermediate students
2. Helped local students one on one with Word and Excel in Luang Prabang
3. Cleaned school computers of viruses and issues so students can use the computers
4. Purchased clothes and shoes for students
5. Donated 100 USB keys to school so students so they can save their work
6. Provided writing material to small village school in Luang Prabang
8. Painted a 6 room school and kindergarten for village 1 hr south of Luang Prabang
I am back in Lang Probing teaching at LEOT (and some local village children). Many beginner classes have never used a computer. School now have 9 computers setup. I teach beginners computer basics and how to search on Google, copy and paste, translate from English to Lao language and some basic Word. Advanced student classes have good basic skills and more progress can be made allowing them to use computers in relation to their future careers.
