[kictanet] Day 3:Ensuring Effective Implementation of the Laptop Project - The Key Variables :How would content be delivered and assessed? (Administrative & Institutional infrastructures at primary school levels)

[James Kariuki]

Much of the formative assessment is done at the class level by the
teachers. It is therefore very important to make sure that the
teachers not only have access to these technologies but also are well
trained on how to use them.
On content delivery, it largely depends on what content and what the
learning objectives are. If it simple numeracy, there are a number of
games that can be selected. The same can be done for reading and
writing. However, ability to customise and contextualise these games
(and similar content) to make them relevant and authentic to the
pupils will be vital.
