For fifteen years, the Lot department has made computers available to 6th grade students as part of the Ordi'Lot operation. At the Castors college in Bagnac, the operation took place after classes on Thursday, November 7 in the presence of the mayor, elected officials from the town and Anne Laporterie, departmental councilor.
Ordi'Lot is 913 computers distributed this year by the department, in the twenty public colleges for which it is responsible. In Bagnac, 19 devices were distributed. Increasingly efficient from year to year, the computers are programmed with forty applications that can be used in schools and more than 140 digital books. Advisors can intervene for getting started or for any other problem. The computer also makes it possible to create a link between school and home, to communicate with teachers, and for parents to better monitor their children's education by accessing various information. The computers are financed, after the request according to the family quotient, from 20 to 95%, and therefore become the property of the families.
This is an important moment in the development of the young adolescent; you have to have attended the handover of the computers to realize this! The eyes shine, the cheeks flush and the hands tremble a little. For some, who, for the first time, will possess this “passport” to adulthood, it is almost an initiatory act, to be considered a grown-up, to be able to own their own computer, and to enter in an authorized manner. in the new world that opens up to them.
