Good point Daktari, lest we forget that ICTs are not an end in themselves but a means to an end, having been involved in awareness campaigns through www.projectdiscovery.or.ke, we discovered that some teachers would become suspicious that ICTs would take away their jobs and that there were also some aspects of pedagogy that ICTs could not address effectively (most of our schools are also day care centres), of course a lot has been done through various ppp iniatiatives to raise awareness and many business opportunities have resulted from this efforts, in as much as i would want to appreciate what we can achieve from education 2.0 as Walu would call it , let us also look at how they can be effectively integrated into the existing education framework to improve on it and i think KIE is doing well in this regard, the role of the teacher is still very important since he is a role model and mentor, something we cant easily get from video so i agree with the PS a Mash up of sorts might be necessary.

Robert, You should have taken your thoughts further in a way that can impact our future. If I were you, I would bring the issue of data centers and mash it with video content. The conclusions would be that going forward we need lots of storage space. This means investment opportunity.
I look at FPE as the greatest opportunity to push for automation to not only increase transparency but traceability. It is a futile exercise for a learned person like you to sound helpless. Often it is a problem that creates an opportunity and if we fail to exploit it, it will happen again in which we are ALL considered unlearned.
