At Logiri&nbsp;primary school, kids are showing a lot of improvement since resuming&nbsp;computer lessons. After a short review, the kids to remember the lessons they had before holiday.Now we're introducing projects, to expand the skills that kids are learning on the computer. An&nbsp;example project is drawing a house and making a budget. Using vector graphics, we start by drawing a house, and then we use spreadsheets to balance and calculate the cost.Purity Kigen, a grade four girl, drew a good plan for a three classroom school block. Her plan even included deputy and headteacher offices. She has hope that before the weekend, she will do everything, including budgeting the cost and drawing the actual block. She's using both vector graphics and spreadsheets!

<h2>Barrina Primary School</h2>I see a lot of improvement at my school, Barrina every single day. I see students overcoming challenges and others even inspiring me.<h2>Motivated To Learn</h2>Alex, a 1st grader at Barrina, had been really struggling in his TechLit classes. He was very shy and with very low esteem. He would just sit and stare at the screen.Today, he surprised me. He came to class and started working on his mouse movement all on his own. I wish I could tell you what changed.His classments were really impressed with him. They became motivated to learn even more things and improve as much as Alex did. One of them said, in swahili, "Kama Alex amejua, mbona mini nijsijue vitu zingine." (If Alex has improved like this, even I can too.)<h2>Loving TechLit Classes</h2>Alton, a 4th Grader love Tux Math. His classmates know to call upon him when they are stuck. Today, I decided to ask him what he wanted to be when he grows up. I expected to him to say a doctor, a pilot or something. "Mwalimu wa TechLit (TechLit Teacher)", he said.
