VI. 师生感想/ Feedback from Teachers and Students

Since these refurbished computers are given to the rural schools, we have been able to launch IT courses, which enables teachers and students to get to know computers. They can also understand how broad the world is, which helps to narrow the digital gap between urban areas and rural villages. The kids now can understand the basic structure of a computer, correct order to turn on/off the computers and the composition of the keyboard. They can also practice typing and make type settings. Under a kind of enjoyable atmosphere with simple games, the kids acquired knowledge and skills.
