While school leaders, government agencies
and educational stakeholders are aware of the significance of 21st
century skills to children’s development, pressure from parents
make it hard for schools to deliver them effectively. Most of parents trust monthly, terminal
and annual examinations as a sole measure for their children development. They
consider less inculcating 21st century skills to their children. This leads to
under-development of 21st
century skills among the children making them unprepared to solve
critical challenges. It is in this light that Tanzania
Inclusive Vision Organisation (TIVO)
has established TIVO CLUB with the
aim of supporting schools to promote 21st century skills among the learners in primary and secondary schools
in Tanzania https://tivo.or.tz/client/tivoclub .
TIVO CLUB OBJECTIVES

Writing skills are
essential for any person to develop into professionalism, for personal life
record and ideas expression. However, many people are not good writers because
they lacked motivation to write when they were young. The following are ways
how TIVO Poster will promote 21st century skills to
children in primary and secondary schools;
- Improve learners’
ability to communicate through writing
Writing is a
primary way we gather information, interact and connect with others. Improving
child’s written communications allows him/her to confidently communicate with
everyone.
ii.
Shape learners’ impression through writing
Writing is often the first
impression that others can have of you. People often read your writings before
meeting you face to face. TIVO POSTER influences children to minimize errors,
have organized and complete thoughts through writings so as to exploit the
acceptance of their intelligence and characters.
We often communicate in order to request
something. If the one reading your request cannot fully understand or locate
what you need from them, you are likely not to get your request fulfilled. TIVO
POSTER aims to develop children with ability to present acceptable requests.
Improving writing helps one to
become a better communicator and it also improves ones reading ability, which
is another essential job skill. TIVO POSTER aims to improve children’s writing
ability so that they may become bloggers, website content developers, article
writers etc.
Disorganized writing could
indicate that one’s thinking is disorganized. If a writing is not fully
developed, it could indicate that someone has not fully developed the thoughts.
Therefore, improving children’s writing skills improves both the ways children
think about a topic and discuss it with others.

Current
researches reveal that effective communication skills lead to students’
academic performance. However, how to instill effective communication skills
among the learners is a great challenge. This problem is reflected
through lack of vocabulary, poor grammar and unfocused presentations done by
many students when they are required to engage in serious dialogue, debates or presentations. Download the guide for TIVO TALK TIVO TALK GUIDE pdf

“Interactive TIVOLIVE Augmented Reality Astronomy Manual”
Bringing Space Learning to Life
The TIVO ASTROLAB Project is an innovative education program designed to improve how students learn astronomy and space topics in geography subjects across secondary schools in Tanzania. Through the use of modern technology and creative learning tools, TIVO is making difficult concepts simple, visual and exciting, especially for students in rural areas where ICT learning tools are limited.
What Makes This Project Special?
The project uses a powerful
combination of:
1. TIVOLIVE Augmented Reality Mobile
Application ( DOWNLOAD TIVOLIVE AR APP )
Students use tablets to scan pages in the book and instantly see:
- Astronomy videos
- 3D space simulations
- Interactive explanations
2. TIVO ASTROLAB AR-Embedded Book
This is not a normal book. It allows students to:
- Read and understand geography concepts
- Scan images to watch related videos
- Answer questions directly in the book
- Learn by seeing, doing, and thinking
Project
Goals
- Improve understanding of astronomy in geography
- Make learning interactive and enjoyable
- Support schools with limited ICT resources
- Bridge the gap between theory and real-life
experience
What
We Are Providing
To support schools in Morogoro
villages, TIVO plans to;
- Print 500 TIVO ASTROLAB Books

These
tools will be used freely in selected public schools to ensure equal access to
