Ceibal Foundation presents publication and audiovisuals on Uruguayan innovative experiences

The Ceibal Foundation presents the publication “Innovative Experiences 2021” and three audiovisuals featuring the systematization of the award-winning projects in the first 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 which seeks to recognize the most innovative projects implemented in schools in Uruguay and highlight their impact on improving learning.

Both the publication and the audiovisuals give a detailed description of the three award-winning experiences in 2021:

• Innovative Educational Project: “CapillApp”, implemented by Capilla del Sauce Secondary School in Florida. The project involved the development of an application offering information on the school in a quick, reliable and user-friendly way to students who are going to join or have recently joined the school and their families.
• Innovative School: Technical School in Guichón – on Paysandú’s southern border – for the project “Innovation as an alternative”. The initiative updates the traditional notion of a technical school, and thinks about it in relation to new technologies. Teachers and students chose innovation as an alternative on the basis of a rearrangement of the subjects and a strong sense of community.
• The Public’s Recognition: República de Panamá School No. 28 in Montevideo for the project “Tracks and gaps in online learning: zoom to school learning”, designed to offer online lessons and school support to 2nd, 4th and 5th year students during the pandemic. It was developed as an alternative for furthering the bonding and learning of schoolchildren in periods of distance education.
