Students at Skylark School Create Their Own Storybooks, Too!
Another school where I taught is the Skylark School in the Dhapasi section of Kathmandu. I worked with a couple of hundred eager students for five intense days, and they were very proud of their efforts! With help from One Laptop Per Child, we will enhance their storybooks through amazing computer technology.
Students at the School for Himalayan Children write their first books!
Over the past couple of years, I have been traveling to Nepal and running creative writing workshops for children at various schools and organizations. Here are photos of the children at the School for Himalayan Children working hard on their storybooks. It was the first book they'd ever written,
and they were very proud! With the help of One Laptop Per Child, we will be able to enhance these workshops with wonderful computer technology.
