Project Title- "Green My School Through ICT"

Project Synopsis:

Our project is a campaign named “Green My School through ICT“. This community project is to create awareness to youngsters especially primary school students by planting trees that we will provide in their school grounds and input the data of the growth of their trees in our interactive website that will store and manipulate the data by creating statistics of their trees and many more tips for them to learn on how to take care of their tress.

By doing this, the students can learn about having some sense of preserving the nature in the early age and indirectly in touch with ICT as well. Value of responsibilities is also being exposed to them because they will take care of their own trees and track their trees growth.

Project Objectives:

• To increase awareness among primary school students on the importance of preserving the nature.

• To provide meaningful connection between primary school students and environment.

• To invoke primary school students' intelligence in ICT.

Project Structure:

• Set up a campaign booth at the identified primary school in Shah Alam as our opening act in our campaign.

• Afterwards, we will provide 60 trees and fertilizers to 60 primary school students and they will learn how to plant the trees in their school ground and take care of these trees with the guidance of their teachers.

• To record the growth of their trees, students can browse through the interactive website that we will develop and they can key in the data of their trees growth and the website will display their trees statistics and tips on the care of their trees.

Project Expected Outcome:

• It would build public awareness and involvement in protecting environment starting from their own school.

• It also gives children the opportunity to belong to a group that solves real life problems.

• Student-teacher relationship outside classroom will be closer because teachers will also assist students in this program.

• This project also offer many teaching and learning opportunities in ICT, English, science, mathematics, history, geography, social studies and art. It can offer children to learn about plants and the relationship between the seasons and weather, the sun and the earth (geology/environment).The process of planning, creating and using an environment provides children with unique hands-on experiences.

• By taking care of their own trees, students will develop a sense of responsibility and stewardship.

• Last but not least, we could take part in helping to reduce the global warming that is happening currently and as to Mother Nature, we could never have too many trees, aren’t we?
