<h2>A Normal Week of Computer Class</h2><p>This week&nbsp;at Mogotio&nbsp;Primary&nbsp;we were&nbsp;dealing with how&nbsp;the kids can save their work. So from Monday&nbsp;to Friday our target was to ensure every&nbsp;kid is able to save their work.</p><h2>A Surprise Visitor</h2><p>On Monday afternoon this week our&nbsp;CEO Nelly Cheboi came into the lab and surprised&nbsp;everyone in the lab. The children&nbsp;were not expecting her! While she was there, Kosi uploaded a video on social.</p><p>I was not aware that Kosi uploaded&nbsp;it onto the computer until one kid by the name Dorah found it. "<strong>Watch kosi talk about&nbsp;techlit on cnn!</strong>"</p><h2>Just Like Us</h2><p>What shocked her is that&nbsp;in that video&nbsp;she saw a Kosi with a uniform like&nbsp;they have. Dorah called me over. "<strong>Teacher kuja! Uone kosi na uniform&nbsp;ya mogotio primary?</strong>" She asked&nbsp;me in kiswahili, "<strong>Kosi alisomea hapa?</strong>"</p><p>"Y<strong>eah! Alisomea hapa</strong>" I told Dorah. All the children jumped from their computer and gathered to Dorah's computer. (They didn't&nbsp;notice that all computers have the video.) They were very happy.</p><p>After watching&nbsp;that video, I told them go and watch on your computer. I told them that every computer has that video.They crashed on their computer&nbsp;by saying in kiswahili "<strong>kumbe kosi alisomea hapa?</strong>"</p>

<h2>Internet Skills Specialty</h2><p>Internet skills is one of the specialties we teach in TechLit Africa. Creating accounts in our local, offline internet program called Social enables students to save and upload their work so that they can always make progress when attending computer class.</p><h2>The Effects of Social</h2><p>Since I started introducing Social accounts in Mogotio Primary and showing them how to open the account they have been showing less interest in it. But from the day I started reviewing Social with them and showing them how they can communicate to their colleagues by chatting they have really developed interest in it. Most of them really enjoy that. Now they are able to save their work and upload it on Social.</p>

<h2>Digital Literacy Required</h2><p>Last week, a fourth grader named Fortune in Mogotio Primary school, was struggling to open his Social account because he did not know how to spell his name. I wrote his name down on a piece of paper and placed it on his desk so that he could refer to it while typing. I returned to Mogotio this week to review their Internet Skills introduction. Fortune has really improved.</p><h2>Breakthrough Skills</h2><p>Now, Fortune he can even log into his account on his own. Today, he really amazed me as he drew six different designs on Inkscape vectors and saved all of them successfully during their lessons. Teaching them how to save their work has been a hard task, especially for Grade 4, but Fortune has really motivated the students.</p>
