Smartmonkeytv.createsend1. Education & Tech - The Start of the Self-Learning Revolution in African Schools with the sub US$100 tablet (For the latest video clip interviews from Smart Monkey TV, see the bottom of this e-letter) Many African schools are failing their pupils.
Through a combination of lack of resources, low teaching skills and many other factors, the students who come out at the other end do not have the skills and understandings required. In a fortnight’s time iSchools in Zambia will launch a tablet or under US100 pre-loaded with the curriculum for schools and parents. I talked to its founder Mark Bennett about what it wants to do.
Zambia has 8,800 schools, 500 of which cover the full secondary syllabus. iSchools was set up by Mark Bennett as the CSR programme of the ISP he ran, Africonnect. When the Internet was working, the server would update itself with any new materials generated by iSchools. However, it’s not just aimed at the education system. Yours sincerely Russell Southwood Smart Monkey TV. Hangouts.

Games for Change. Online English Game. Schools & Colleges. I've been looking for something like this for YEARS!
Our pupils are finding Vocab Express really useful, and some even seem to be addicted. We have an ongoing competition with edible prizes for the top three scores in every lesson. Hazel Bailey, Teacher, Bishop's Stortford College Vocab Express has stood the test of time with our students. We’ve had it for more than two years now but just yesterday one student explained it like this to a new girl to the school: “It’s wicked. This is the best vocab building tool ever! Whilst using Vocab Express, I have also experienced my competitive side; before every session of Vocab Express I look at the leader board to see who is ranked as 1st in each of my language classes.
Vocab Express guaranteed at least one grade difference! I can't recommend Vocab Express highly enough. Vocab Express helped me with the verbs and encouraged me to use foundation and higher tier words. The kids love it and it has improved general spelling like nothing else could. SmartFeet. Hemingway.
