PROMOTING TWENTY FIRST CENTURY SKILLS THROUGH TIVO CLUB

TIVO CLUB

While school leaders, government agencies and educational stakeholders are aware of the significance of 21^st 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 21^st century skills to their children. This leads to under-development of 21^st 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 21^st century skills among the learners in primary and secondary schools in Tanzania https://tivo.or.tz/client/tivoclub .

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 21^st century skills to children in primary and secondary schools; 

1. 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.

   iii.             Influence superiors to offer what learners want

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.

    iv.             To equip learners with essential job skills

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.

      v.             To promote learners’ critical thinking.

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.

6. TIVO ASTROLAB PROJECT ( BOOK DOWNLOAD )

“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
• Buy 50 Tablets with TIVOLIVE AR Application Installed

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

Why This Matters

Many schools in rural Tanzania have limited access to:

• Computers
• Internet
• Modern learning tools

The TIVO ASTROLAB Project solves this problem by bringing interactive learning directly into classrooms. Students no longer need to imagine space, they can see it, explore it and understand it better.

How It Helps Students

With this project, students can:

• Understand difficult topics easily
• Stay more engaged in class
• Learn at their own pace
• Develop interest in science and technology

Join Us

We believe every student deserves quality and interactive education, no matter where they live. Support the TIVO ASTROLAB Project by:

• Partnering with us
• Sponsoring devices or books

Together, We Build the Future
