Last Wednesday, June 11th, RETOMadrID staff popped up at Sierra de Guadarrama Adult Educational Centre to join initial learners team during the diplomas delivery act upon completing basic digital literacy course.
Along the trimester, this group (made up of 15 women) took part in the course by using Digital Inclusive Points (DIPs) as a learning tool. Thanks to their’s teacher, Inma’s involvement, the course carried on weekly within the curriculum’s plan, turning Fridays into a distinguished class, more practical, participative and with a global scope that allowed them to tighten bonds between them.
Even though each person worked individually along their DIP, all together reviewed contents and the support between themselves became essential within the dynamic of the course. This blend not only boosted up the learning on digital skills, but it also improved Spanish vocabulary, expression and above all a gain in confidence and self-doing to cope with technology beyond daily usage.
Staff was treated with handmade breakfast prepared by the participants, that shared with enthusiasm what has been to them this first encounter with digital learning. The teacher as much as the students gave positive feedback about the experience, as well as recommendations that will chip in to keep adjusting and strengthening the methodology. In September, the course will start back to dive into topics such as the use of the Internet and the access to several digital services. Furthermore, it is expected to share this experience to other groups inside this centre.
At RETOMadrID we want to outline the positive impact this experience was in this group and would like to express gratitude especially to Inma for his unconditional involvement and to Jesús, chief director at the centre for facilitating us the existence of this project in the day by day of the class.
RETOMadrID continue growing thanks to the collaboration between centres, teachers and students, not to mention the capacity to adopt the digital to realities and rythm of each group!
