WSIS Prizes Contest 2021 Nominee

Education in Network (Educação em Rede)


Description

Nova Escola, in partnership with Facebook, carried out a number of online training courses and furthered exchange experiences on the use of technology for mediation of educational processes in a remote context. The project created a support network so that teachers could share lessons learned and best practices to minimize the impact of the crisis brought by Covid-19 on public education.
Experts indicate that nearly 50 million students of Basic Education, 80% from public schools, had presential classes suspended throughout Brazil. And about 2 million teachers were surprised by the need for distance education.
And the project results were substantial. The broadcasts reached more than 256,000 unique users and 457,000 views, with 91% of satisfaction (NPS - Net Promoter Score). The groups on Facebook and WhatsApp gathered, at least, 23,000 people. Finally, the marketing campaign reached 10 million users on social networks.

Replicability

Composed of live classes and groups on social networks, the scope of the project can be replicated in the training of teachers and other professional categories, whether in times of crisis or not. And not only in Brazil, but in any community with access to the internet.


Sustainability

The sustainability of the project is confirmed by the number of people accessing an abundance of teaching and learning materials available for free on the project website. The project aims to not only educate public school teachers but also empower them, as we seek to mobilize many individuals and communities encouraging them to do act as ambassadors of the project in their circles.
