This week, I introduced my students to Document Editing because they are hungry for new computer skills. After just one lesson, they already know more than I do. They created such complicated documents and even a thank you note.

We have a student called Marion in Grade 3 at Zawadi Academy. She really likes to create art in Inkscape, and now that she has her own account and password on our local, offline internet program called Social, she can securely save her artwork.

A grade 3 student in Zawadi, named Jepchirchir Cate, learned how to type uppercase letters today in order to create her design project. I challenged her to make something more than just shapes and labels, so she created a school pride design.

Ogutu, a Grade 5 student in Zawadi Academy, decided to make his own beat today. It has been many weeks since his class learned LMMS, but he was still able to make his music. Their LMMS specialist Dogo shared his work as an example for the whole school.

Eugene, a Grade 3 boy at Zawadi, really struggled on his first day of Coding lessons. Luckily, our coding specialist Evanso introduced Scratch Junior and Eugene became so very productive. He was so excited that he shared his work with the whole class.

This week, a Grade 4 student named Bowen was struggling in class. But when he saw how one of his classmates was achieving in the same area, he decided to work harder and overcame his challenges.

This week, a Grade 3 student named Kate Jepchirchir tried something new in computer class. She quickly took ownership of her own project and learned new skills to complete her vision. She learned to learn this week.

This week, a Zawadi student took an interest in computer classes for the first time because of our OpenShot specialty lessons. Now, he is leading his whole class.
