As
information technology increasingly impacts nearly
every aspect of life in the developed world, people
in non-developed countries find themselves more and
more left behind. This "digital divide"
greatly magnifies the gap between rich and poor.
This project establishes computer centers within secondary
schools that can be used to teach students how to
use Microsoft Windows™, Office™, Encarta™
and the Internet. This dramatically improves the quality
of education and gives students the skills needed
to get better jobs after graduation, which is key
to breaking the cycle of poverty. CoEd Computer Center classes emphasize "project-based" learning models, in which students use technology to find solutions to real-world challenges. Click here to learn more about our innovative Project-Based Learning.
Additionally, technical and pedagogical training for Computer Center teachers is critical to this project's success. Click here to learn more about the training we provide for our teachers.
