EduIcan Sharing Knoweldge
We are faced with education challenges in my country Namibia mostly in government schools and schools in rular areas. What I'm trying to do is establish a networking system where students can share ideas and assist each others on home work and school projects. This will be a connection between students in the whole country and will bring interactionb among students from public schools and private schools. I want to use the Instant Messaging Service that will automaticaly deliver messages to all registered students within a certain subject.
I need help on Instant Messaging servers and softwares

ATSTAR - helping teachers use tech for kids with disabilities
Supporting organization:
Knowbility
URL:
www.atstar.org
Location:
Texas, Colorado, Montana
Project Description:
Assistive technology (AT) can be a lifeline for students with disabilities. As more students with learning differences, physical impairments, and cognitive and emotional disorders are educated in general education classrooms, teachers are challenged to meet the needs of those students. Kids with disabilities do better in school when they have access to the right technology supports.
ATSTAR brings AT expertise directly into the classroom. Using a series of online training modules, an online community of AT experts to mentor teachers, and fully accessible captioned video case studies to guide teachers through the process of AT assessment and implementation, ATSTAR pilots have demonstrated that teachers gain expertise and kids benefit.
A teacher in a rural Montana school house, teaching grades K-8 in one classroom, used the ATSTAR program to find a technology solution for a second grader with cerebral palsy. The student is bright and because of mobility and speech impairments needs alternative input and output devices for communication of lessons. The ATSTAR method guided the teacher and parents to the right solution so that the student has the support she needs to succeed in school.
Recent technology improvements have made the ATSTAR program ready for national dissemination. Contact Kathy carmain for more information: kathy at knowbility dot org .
You Mean to tell me that a Technology Plan would avoid headaches?
WOW! What a Difference a Week Makes! Where to start.... Since I began this blog and really launched my serious research into what WYSE needs to do to get our new web presence and WYSE Community Communication System (I just made that up...but I like it) in place, so much has fallen in my lap and I am energized and inspired. Day 1: I did an orientation with two new board interns who were recruited from RVLDP. http://www.lajcc.org/rvldp/index.html They are both women, although we tried to recruit men. These women are like walking/talking gifts to our organization. One of them has extensive web marketing and development experience and connections.
