La team #Éducation, vous expliqueriez comment le mot éducation justement pour que ça soit compréhensible par des enfants de 8-10 ans ?
Si possible en évitant d'inférer un sens scolaire ou autoritaire...

J'ai vu une définition anglaise pour éducatif "inspiring to learn" et je trouve ça pas mal, mais ça passe pas directement en français (et puisqu'il s'agit de définir pour des enfants, il faut être plus complet que ça).

LibreFaso,

Hi @futurebird, how would you define the word "education" to middle-school children ?

(if middle-school is "aged 8 to 10", not sure how it works where you are)

fireborn, to uk

so, to the #UK #Disabled and #Blind communities on Fedi.

I ordered a device called a BT Speak about a week ago. It is a PDA-like device, with an 8-dot Perkins style Braille keyboard and speech output for the visually impaired.

When I got the device, it did not boot, and I contacted the company about it.

I was able to get the device working again by myself rather quickly, however here in lies the reason for my post.

The company were so quick to respond that a replacement unit is already on the way.

After some discussion, what has been decided is that I will be donating the replacement device, brand new, to a visually impaired child who may not be able to procure assistive technology via other means.

In London I know a Burkinabe student that may be able to bring it to the ABPAM in Ouagadougou (Association Burkinabé des Personnes Aveugles et Malvoyantes).
I don't know how soon he could get it there, though.

LibreFaso,

@fireborn
Hi.
I just got confirmation form the London youngster that he could get it there relatively soon as he has family who travels often; longest delay would be July.

LibreFaso,

@roxyska

Je sais qu'à la base vous plaisantez, mais puisque cette partie-là semble sérieuse, vous pourriez expliquer en quoi les interros surprises posent problème ?
Et c'est le cas pour tout type d'interro surprise ou bien il y en a qui trouvent grâce à vos yeux ?

@tsadiq @ciredutempsEsme @vincentxavier @patrice @scudery

LibreFaso,

@roxyska

Le but n'est-il pas d'inciter/forcer les élèves à faire l'apprentissage avant chaque leçon, justement ?

@tsadiq @ciredutempsEsme @scudery @vincentxavier @patrice

LibreFaso,

@roxyska

Ce qui se passe, c'est que les élèves que je peux avoir n'ont pas ce luxe, et généralement pas de deuxième chance (déjà pour qu'ils en aient une première, c'est un combat permanent et pas gagné d'avance).

@tsadiq @ciredutempsEsme @patrice @vincentxavier @scudery

LibreFaso,

@tsadiq

Ça c'est pas faux et je ne suis absolument pas attaché aux pédagogies autoritaires ou aux conceptions bancaires de l'éducation, mais il faut impérativement obtenir des résultats non seulement à long terme, mais aussi à court terme (résultats aux examens donc), sinon il n'y a pas de long terme.

@roxyska @ciredutempsEsme @patrice @vincentxavier @scudery

LibreFaso,

@ciredutempsEsme

Certes mais c'est pas la mienne et je dois faire avec.
Si je n'ai plus d'élèves parce que les parents/la direction voient des mauvaises notes aux examens, je peux avoir les meilleures conceptions non-bancaires et non-machinistes du monde, elles ne serviront plus à grand-chose.

@tsadiq @roxyska @patrice @vincentxavier @scudery

LibreFaso,

@vincentxavier

Sans vouloir contester : pourquoi ?
Et, prévoir qu'il peut y avoir interro-suprise à tout moment, cela n'en fait pas un moment prévu ?

@roxyska @tsadiq @ciredutempsEsme @patrice @scudery

LibreFaso,

@vincentxavier

D'accord, mais "une interro (potentielle) à chaque cours", pour gagner du temps, ça ne fait pas le même effet en plus rapide ?

@roxyska @tsadiq @ciredutempsEsme @scudery @patrice

LibreFaso,

@Va

J'ai pas bien compris ?

@ciredutempsEsme @roxyska @tsadiq @vincentxavier @patrice @scudery

LibreFaso,

@roxyska

Merci, c'est justement ce genre de retour d'expérience sur les effets induits contre-intuitifs que je cherchais.

@hisham_hm

Hi.
You're Brazilian, right ?
Would you know how to address the Lusophone community on the Fediverse?

I've been teaching "computers" in a primary school in the Dakar suburbs (cf https://librefaso.pollux.casa/sjbm2023.gmi ) and six of my pupils are from a Bissau-Guinean family.
They're struggling at school due to them not mastering neither the local language nor the teaching language (French) but they're highly motivated.

LibreFaso,

A few people have offered to help, thanks to them (and to those who boosted).

About how :
As I explained, I mostly need a patron in order to tell the pupils that somebody else made the decision to give the computer to this family (and not to another one).

While I'd be happy to get the 100 € back since I'm not rich, I can front the cost myself while I wait for us to find together a way to transfer the money to me.

So, what I need if you want to help is for you to :
⬇️

LibreFaso,

(things I need you to do if you want to help, continued)
1 - Write a postcard to the kids, telling them that you're happy to help since they are that motivated (and that you understand their struggle in a foreign country, if you want)
2 - Write me a IOU for the amount of the computer
3 - Tell me what proof of delivery to the kids you will require to actually deliver me the money once we figure out how

Thanks in advance !

LibreFaso,

PS : note that I only can guarantee that I will deliver the computer, fully operational, to the kids, and talk to their parents about taking care of it.
Though the kids understand the importance of being careful with it, and under my instructions treated the school computers with some care when I was teaching them, there is no way I can guarantee that they will not break it one day or another...

LibreFaso,

Someone kindly paid for the computer for the family of six, thanks to her (and to those who put the situation to her attention).

Actually, she was kind enough to give a bit more money, so I can buy a few computers to the school itself (for the use of all my pupils, and other pupils at school).

LibreFaso,

For those in Germany who would be interested to also help, there is a German non-profit that can collect the money and transfer it here, for the next two weeks (the non-profit's founder and manager died recently, and the interim manager agreed to transfer any money received before the non-profit's shutdown in two weeks).

#Deutschland #eV

(feel free to translate that in German if you wish !)

LibreFaso,

The school could use more computers, also they're in need of patrons to pay for the scholarship of children from poor families (but families that value education).
And the director is searching for money to put a roof on the first floor or her school (on a building she rents, so not the best idea imho, but anyway the first floor is built, so it's too late to complain, leaving it without a roof would be even less smart).

#Schule

LibreFaso,

I'd also like to provide computers to the center that teaches #deaf kids in Joal-Fadiouth (which was created by the school director's sister, before her sudden death a few years ago - the director would like the center to thrive, in memory of her baby sister); I'm not sure that it would be possible through the non-profit though, I'm waiting for the interim non-profit's manager's answer on that topic.

Anybody intending to help should felle free to DM me for the non-profit's details.

LibreFaso,

I was able to buy 11 computers today (partially with funds promised by kind people on the Fediverse or elsewhere, partially out of my own pocket) for 500 000 F (around 800 €).
Three will go to the most motivated pupils that I had, 5 should go to the school for all pupils, and three will go to the center for deaf kids in Joal-Fadiouth.
In each school I'll put one of them on #Emmabuntu and the rest on #Primtux.
Though, is there a simple way to put all the Emmabuntu softwares on the Primtux ones ?

LibreFaso,

I noticed that many kids (and not only the brightests) were very interested in the small snippets of encyclopedia which are presented by some #Gcompris activities, so the hoard of offline treasures that #Emmabuntus offer should be very useful to them...

LibreFaso,

Anyway an apt install kiwix tells me that the kiwix package has no installable version...
@kiwix

LibreFaso,

Also, if someone wants to help with the patronage system, the school tuition for one year is a bit less than 100 € per pupil.
If I understand correctly (I don't read German), the German non-profit accepts donations starting at 10 € and pools them together to pay for the kids' tuition (and/or their furnitures/uniforms).
