BarrackI think there is need to have a structured discussion on the list so that there will be concrete recommendations. My suggestion is that once you compile the issues that listers have raised on the matter, you categorise them into themes/areas of intervention, and then have listers debate around them and make suggestions moving forward. You could set aside some five days where each day can be dedicated to an issue, and the recommendations can form part of the f2f meeting at Strath.

Barrack, I am getting confused. What are we going to discuss at Strathmore? You recall the listers had requested that we get someone from Education to respond to issues around the lap top to schools policy pronouncement. I
am disappointed that only a few of us that are raising substantive issues that can help the Ministry with the policy implementation.
We need to exhaustably discuss the issues on-line and in Strathmore
meeting we make recommendations to the Ministry of Education and get to hear their stand there. We shall waste the opportunity if we go there grumbling.
Ndemo.
James,
The elders have said we are speaking too much and we need to act, we have therefore decided to gather at Strathmore University and put all our ideas in one pot, the outcome will be a position paper that will support policy,
the first step is to confirm those who will attend, the second step will be to make up our minds on the role we want to play to make the project a success as diverse stakeholders.
Best Regards

All,
I think people need to come up with their suggestions on how they will assist this laptop programme achieve success. I think it will be a pioneering on e in the world that many a nation shall stop by to study.
Samsung is setting up a plant to assemble laptops in the country, Microsoft has landed...It is irrelevant to ask what they stand to benefit, you don't make machines, and you don't have a world leading operating
system. It is only true that when a kangaroo court to try the fox is called, only those who own hens have locus standi.....
Let guys propose what they can bring to the table not substitute on fox
for the other...for instance, participate in the county programs to educate teachers.
