Lace Education Foundation of Santiago, Chile, committed to growth and social development supported by technology, sought a new way to remain present in nearby communities in the Metropolitan Region, initiating a change in the way of maintaining a presence as a result of the pandemic, without ever imagining the great impact this would produce.
Since March 16, nationwide school closures began, followed by the start of quarantines in the following weeks in various provinces across the country, which have remained in effect to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This change involved moving from directed or closed sessions with very defined and known participants in the communes of Maip\u00fa, Pe\u00f1alol\u00e9n, Santiago Centro, and Pe\u00f1aflor, to a change in the way of delivering courses through technology, which would be the result of exposing them on online platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this new beginning, with the hope and confidence of being able to contribute in the best way possible to the group presented to us, we set out to start with the \u201cTeachers\u201d segment, featuring a virtual class that provided the necessary tools to make it effective and decisive in the understanding and apprehension of the material delivered. Therefore, it was implemented using interactive screens and a collaborative video connection platform that was lightweight enough and easy for the participant to manage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another significant point in our first presentation was mixing two currently necessary elements in the subject of teaching in Chile, such as Excel and its application in Decree 67, which establishes the minimum standards on evaluation, grading, and promotion for all students in Chile, which came into effect in March 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When registration opened\u2014backed by 100%\u2019s technology and guided by the vision of reaching a percentage of teachers that would allow us to improve or address challenges facing growing vulnerable communities\u2014the response from participants was overwhelming and exciting, as the registration slots filled up to the maximum capacity in less than 7 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, and much to our surprise, the registered participants came not only from the metropolitan area, as had been anticipated and planned, but also included teachers from all over Chile, with different backgrounds and teaching methods, and about 50 % of them were from areas in need of new opportunities, and through these teachers, we are able to support, in a more comprehensive way, the empowerment of communities and the application of new technologies in learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We currently have various courses scheduled and available for the different groups of people defined by POETA, and thanks to the support of those who have been trained, we will have a presence in this way for a long time, since they have generated greater demand, especially from locations outside the capital, for the courses we are teaching digitally.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The Lace Education Foundation in Santiago, Chile\u2014committed to growth and social development through technology\u2014sought a new way to maintain a presence in nearby communities in the Metropolitan Region, initiating a shift in how it engaged with these communities as a result of the pandemic, without realizing the significant impact this would have. Starting on March 16, schools were closed nationwide, and quarantines began in the following weeks in various provinces across the country\u2014measures that remain in place to this day. This shift involved moving from guided or closed-door sessions with a very specific and well-known group of participants in the districts of Maip\u00fa, Pe\u00f1alol\u00e9n, Santiago Centro, and Pe\u00f1aflor to a new approach to delivering courses via technology\u2014specifically, by offering them on online platforms. As we embarked on this new beginning\u2014with the hope and confidence that we could best serve the group that would join us\u2014we decided to start with the \u201cTeachers\u201d segment, offering a virtual class that would provide the necessary tools to make the session effective and impactful in helping participants understand and grasp the material. so we implemented interactive screens and a video conferencing platform for collaborative work that was lightweight and easy for participants to use. Another significant aspect of our first presentation was combining two elements currently essential to teaching in Chile: Excel and its application in Decree 67, which establishes the minimum standards for assessment, grading, and promotion for all students in Chile and took effect in March 2020. When registration opened\u2014supported by 100%\u2019s technology and with the goal of reaching a sufficient percentage of teachers to help us address or resolve challenges facing growing vulnerable communities\u2014the response from participants was overwhelming and exciting, as the registration slots filled up to the maximum capacity in less than 7 minutes. Additionally, and to our great surprise, the registered participants came not only from the metropolitan area, as had been anticipated and planned, but also included teachers from all over Chile, with diverse backgrounds and teaching methods; and about 50% of them came from areas in need of new opportunities, and through these teachers, we are able to support the empowerment of communities and the application of new technologies in learning in a more comprehensive way. We currently have various courses scheduled for the different groups of people identified by POETA, and thanks to the support of the trainees themselves, we will continue this work for a long time to come, as they have generated increased demand\u2014especially from areas outside the capital\u2014for the courses we are offering online.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":12161,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37],"class_list":["post-1427","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","tag-aprendizaje","tag-chile","tag-clase-virtual","tag-decreto-67","tag-lace-educacion","tag-plataforma-on-line","tag-poeta","tag-santiago"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trust-oea.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1427","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trust-oea.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trust-oea.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trust-oea.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trust-oea.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1427"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/trust-oea.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1427\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12162,"href":"https:\/\/trust-oea.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1427\/revisions\/12162"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trust-oea.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12161"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trust-oea.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1427"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trust-oea.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1427"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trust-oea.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1427"}],"curies":[{"name":"well played","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
