Ceibal Foundation presents publication and audiovisuals on innovative experiences

The Ceibal Foundation presents the publication “Innovative Experiences 2022” and a number of audiovisuals that illustrate the systematization implemented by the projects honoured in the second edition of the NODO Awards, a joint initiative of the Ministry of Education and Culture (MEC), the National Administration of Public Education (ANEP) and Ceibal. These awards seek to recognize the most innovative projects carried out in schools in Uruguay and highlight their impact on improving learning.

Both the publication and the audiovisual products provide a detailed description of the three experiences that won awards in 2021 for the purpose of disseminating them as a source of inspiration to all the education community in Uruguay.

• Pedagogical innovation: “Learning in order to really Learn”, implemented by Nelson Mandela Associated School Nº183, in Montevideo. This school reorganizes teaching practices and enhances the continuity of the students’ educational trajectories by promoting project-based learning and the use of the digital tools of the Ceilab Programme.
• Competency-Based Work: Fray Marcos Secondary School Nº1, in Florida, for “Backpack CIT”. This project challenges students of different levels to research, plan and lead environment-related activities in Science, English and Technologies so that they can undertake them with students from nearby rural primary schools. In the process, communication skills necessary for sharing knowledge are developed, scientific methodology is strengthened, and secondary schoolchildren are familiarized with secondary school.
• The Public’s Recognition: “AmigoL5”, a project by Secondary School Nº5 in Salto. The initiative involved the design and development of an application available throughout the country that interprets to and from Spanish and Uruguayan Sign Language. It arose from the identification of communication barriers in the school that hindered the participation of deaf students. The project brought together the work of students of various generations, teachers and the deaf community in Salto.
