Oriéntate: the world at a click

Orientáte, the world at a click is an innitiative of Nutresa Foundation, entity that leads the corporate citizenship strategy of Nutresa Group and its businesses. It is registered in its line of Education, where it has been consolidated as a bet for the improvement of the educational environment in the country, through the development of competences in teachers and teaching directors of public educational institutions in the country and in the communities belonging to the chain of value of the Nutresa Group, with the aim of contributing to the integration of ICT in their daily activities and in the classroom, in addition to improving management processes with the use and appropriation of technology in society

For five consecutive years it has been operated by MAKAIA, enrolling in our line of action Technology for Social Change, where we have generated appropriation diagnostics and technological infrastructure that have allowed us to develop contents according to the needs of each of the population groups, as well as as the appropriation and sensitization processes of hundreds of teachers, directors, parents and producers.

Methodology

The project uses the ICT Adoption Model built by MAKAIA as a basis. As well as the ICT Competence Model for the professional development, of the Ministry of Education, where three learning moments are established in the Technological Competence:

  1. Explorer: recognizes a broad spectrum of technological tools and some ways to integrate them into educational practice.
  2. Integrator: uses various technological tools in educational processes according to their role, training area, level and context in which they perform.
  3. Innovative: the teacher applies the knowledge of a wide variety of technologies in the design of innovative learning environments and to propose solutions to problems identified in the context.

In the processes with parents, we promote tools for the accompaniment of children and young people in the use of Internet, in alignment with the strategy En Tic Confío (In ICT I Trust) of the Ministry of Information and Communication Technologies – MINTIC.
