 +
 +
This activity can be considered taking into account central curriculum of awakening
 +
in 4th grade. Indeed, these curricula focus on developing knowledge,
 +
knowledge to scientists, but also on the empowerment of the student.
 +
====Application pédagogique 1====
 +
====''Creating a listing on the CEMAC''====
 +
''Level (s)'': 4th grade of primary
 +
 +
''Knowledge'': Spatial Information CEMAC countries
 +
 +
''Savoirfaire'':
 +

 +
 +
''History'':
 +
 +
This application turn around a collaborative work, but in team
 +
to arrive at work more developed.
 +
 +
The application could afford to undertake the creation of a prospectus that
 +
present the different countries of the CEMAC (Economic and Monetary Community
 +
of Central Africa). This prospectus presents a number of elements
 +
each country: geography, flag, area, capital, official language (s)
 +
population, President (e), date of independence, currency, telephone.
 +
 +
The work will be divided so that it is organized by team. Each team will be

assigned a country of this area. After this step, each team will explore

Internet so that each will find different information required for
 +
construction of the identity card of each country.

with a resource person for problem solving (school or extra

In the context of cooperation between two schools located in different countries, on
 +
could require two classes of each of these schools to prepare a presentation on a

separate theme (culture, environment, etc..), and then to provide a
 +
simultaneously to audiences in both schools.
 +
 +
To do this, use applications to realize video-conferencing
 +
(Skype, etc.).. Once the technical configurations achieved, students begin their
 +
statement which is also followed by students in their countries but also in other
 +
countries, while providing opportunities for all who follow them to interact by asking
