Computers in San Sok
Today, one of our teams started running a series of workshops on computers, digital story telling and robotics. Early in the morning, we tested a bunch of children on how well they can use smart phones. This San Sok primary school has no electricity or running water, and no computers. Hence they are “un-spoiled”. They learn quickly. On their own, many of them learned to turn on the smart phone, take photographs, play music, and read eBooks.
I would have stayed to keep an eye on my students as they started to teach. Unfortunately, one of them got sick and I have to take him to see a doctor. The student turned out to have been infected by some kind of amoeba, with a high fever and diarrhea. I ended up spending most of the day at the clinic. Very frustrating.
