Judy’s Report 1: The BBC Films Our OLPC Project

Monday: Ntugi Secondary

Godfrey, Simon, four students from Ntugi Secondary and I went to the tarmac to wait for the BBC group who were coming to film us for a documentary show. They arrived there at 11.00 am and we took them down the road to Ntugi Secondary. Simon and Ntugi’s Principal, Phineas Ithinji, were interviewed.

Later, filming was done in the class as the students were working in the  Fototoon Activity to create the speech-bubbles on the photos which they had already taken with the XOs. Then, we went to Jackline’s home to interview her before the BBC group had to drive back to Embu.

Tuesday: Lewa Conservation Education Centre

We went for a game drive with students from Muraga Technical Secondary. After the game drive opened the Chat Activity on all the laptops, Ephantus explained to the students what they were required to do, and he sent them the questions based on the field study and they were able to answer him by typing the answers so everyone could see them, and see who had remembered.

Wednesday: Ntugi Secondary

A Ntugi I taught the students who were unable to use the speech-balloon icons properly in FotoToon and they were able to comment on the already taken photos by the end of that session.

Thursday: Ntugi Secondary

At Ntugi, we discussed with the students about the photos we should take for the next scene of the already created story, and what sizes would be appropriate for each panel (Close, Medium or Long Shots).

Friday: Leparua Primary

We went at Leparua with Simon, and we taught the pupils how to make a sprite jump and move on the X/Y-axis in the Scratch Activity using the motion and control blocks.
