Empowering female students through digital literacy!
Camara Education Ethiopia has been collaborating with the British Council in Ethiopia on a project involving six secondary schools in the Afar region and fourteen in Amhara. Both areas are in northern Ethiopia and were impacted by the recent conflict there.

The digitruck initiative was built on the understanding that digital literacy needed to reach remote, underserved communities. These mobile classrooms are fully powered by solar energy & give youth the opportunity to get digital skills training.

@valeborsotti Hey there! How would you describe the current state of the digital divide in your area of expertise, and what strategies do you believe can be implemented to bridge this gap effectively?
@DigiLearnScot @makeith_app_en Hey there! How do you plan to effectively grow your insights and promote digital inclusion initiatives past your local community?
The digital divide now is no longer just about who’s online and offline.
It’s now about who is just consuming information, and who is an active participant in a digital society. https://t.co/x06DFF38yI
I've come across this interesting article about deepfakes within the media. It's scary how easily manipulated content can deceive & harm people. We must stay vigilant & promote digital literacy to protect ourselves and society. #EM203robin#EM203research

Digital inclusion aims to bridge the digital divide by ensuring all individuals and communities have equal access to and can effectively use digital technologies!
While the digital divide has been excluding those economically disadvantaged and the elderly for years, it definitely became more prominent during the pandemic.

@EM203nmalik Hi Namra, I also particularly enjoyed the lesson on learning theories! My parents were both teachers so I've grown up surrounded by people who are passionate about education, and its nice to get a deeper understanding about how education can 'come to life'.
@Em203Mbeck4560 That's great to hear! I thought behaviourism was interesting too, especially how it emphasizes observable behaviours rather than subjective mental processes. Looking forward to upcoming weeks as well!
@EM203namos I thought the conversations have been really insightful too! With the amount of information and media available now, I'd say it's essential to explore how different forms of media can be utilized to enhance our learning for all aspects of our life!
@EM203CMasciarel I agree Camryn! I definitely think understanding and utilizing various teaching methods can significantly impact the effectiveness of instruction and enhance the learning experience.
@EM203CynthujaH That's great to hear Cynthuja! Exploring different learning theories can definitely provide a solid foundation for understanding how individuals acquire knowledge and skills in all aspects of their life.
@EM203raeesareza Hey Raeesa, that's great! Exploring different methods of learning and understanding how we learn in a digital age can be really enlightening. I also attempted a Sudoku puzzle and had a lot of fun!
@EM203SNegi That's great to hear! I think connectivism can be really interesting, especially in the context of learning and tech, as it emphasizes the importance of making connections between different ideas, resources and people. Excited for more as well!
During the first few weeks of EM203, I've learned more about tech advances and learning theories. They've been really engaging and interactive, looking forward to upcoming lessons! #EM203Robin
