My second week in PCR ends (almost) already. This week, the main annoyance came from worries network. Power cuts are a bit more episodic (one per play average), but they are devastating for the equipment (second hand) for e managed by the association. Thus, one of them has burned Wednesday HDD machine acting as a server, and e was found two days without Internet connection. Hard when you know it is their main activity (the other two being part of a photocopying and scanning documents, and other training Windows, Word, Excel and internet). The association would really need a UPS to prevent such failures ... FYI, this is the only cyber-profit, non-profit, therefore, the district Boulmiougou (100,000 inhabitants). He enjoys rates 3-4 times lower than those of private cyber, while remaining slight profit (expenses relate mainly electricity and salaries of two secretaries and guard).
Training of trainers was completed Friday. By early next week, it was for them to act! I'm still behind them to guide and counselor, because they are young (they return to class of 3rd, 2nd or 1st!), and have no experience. In particular, I was told that here it is particularly difficult for young people to assert its authority over to someone older, or that the situation they will face.
In detail, I have briefly formed Calc (similar to Excel: it was laborious, because they lack the necessary perspective to understand the benefits of this software) and Impress (equivalent of Powerpoint). Then, just to get them more involved, I asked them to reflect on the training they will deliver on all three software Writer, Calc and Impress, as follows:
1) individually, listing the concepts to be addressed, and in what order;
2) sharing and discussion (under my direction);
3 ) brainstorming to find a "common thread" to the local context;
4) creation of documents or drafts which rely on people following the training. They
reads a short text on Burkina Faso for training Writer (learners will copy the text and format it), Calc sheet prepared a simple budget treating their team handball, and wrote several drafts of complete texts on Ouagadougou for the slides during the formation Impress.
We'll see next week how it goes!
