Promoting digital literacy in government schools- Set up of a digital library

Setting up of a digital library at Rajkumari Ratnavati Girls School, Jaisalmer to promote digital literacy among students.

Overview

The IIFL Foundation, collaborated with Rajkumari Ratnavati Girls School with an aim to promote digital literacy among girl students and to improve learning outcomes in language and mathematics. The IIFL Foundation donated 50 tablets to the school, having content in line with the school curriculum. The project allows the students to have their individual tablets and learn the use, and function of the tablets, including the ability to play, pause, rewind and stop the content on their tablets. This project has helped in integrating education with technology and making classes more engaging and fun for the students.

Highlights

The project follows a timetable so that all students can access the digital library. The students from grade 1 to 5, have their digital classes, once a week, wherein each student is given a tab, and they are given a chance to operate the tablets themselves. The content on the tab is as per the age and grade curriculum of the school. Since the project inception, the students are immensely engaged in the activities, and have shared their desire for more time at the library.
