On Education

May 19, 2010

Heavy rains washed out a few roads — after a visit to Kasu, Lawrence and I had to walk back to Dzodze, as there were no commercial motorbikes running. During our walk, we touched on a number of points regarding the usage of computers in an educational environment. I thought I’d share some of them on the blog.

Two weeks of various circumstances prevented any new blog updates — but a lot got done otherwise. Only one week left!

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday I helped Lawrence out with a few more teacher meetings.

Ready, Set…

Prosper will be in Ho (a town an hour and a half of here) today and tomorrow, but next week we’ll be setting up schools.

This Week’s Update

A quick, image-less update: it’s been a slow week.

Today Prosper and I headed for Kasu to meet all the ICT teachers for a workshop / administrative meeting.

Slight Change Of Plans…

We still set up the third school (the Kuli-Dzogbefime Junior High School), but we won’t set up the fourth and fifth schools this week.

I’ve uploaded the timelapse video I took when we set up the Kpelikorpe basic school: take a look!

Second School

Yesterday Prosper, Oscar and I travelled to Kpelikorpe to set up another solar-powered computer lab.

Another Small Update…

Since leaving Accra I’ve been doing mostly administrative things — we’re almost ready to set up the second school.
