[Rwanda-learningteam] Learning Outside in Nonko

[Julia Reynolds]

Maybe my slight headache is making me too sentimental today, but one
thing I wanted to share with the group:

The last 3 or so times that we visited Nonko, we saw teachers
conducting their classes outside--mostly with the younger students.
Some were sitting the grass others were following their teacher to
various places in the school yard. It looked like the teachers and
students were really enjoying (and learning!)

Now Nonko teachers may have already been doing this for 50 years, I
don't know, but I had never seen this before. So just throwing it out
there, that maybe, while we have some time before the laptop can be
used in the class on a regular basis, maybe other teaching ideas are
taking root first....
