Dear colleagues,
From UNESCO’s side we will be more than happy to share the scope of ICTs in Education and the levels of engaging with ICTs (Technology Literacy, Knowledge Deepening

Greetings Barrack, The drift I get from your pointers is let us kick-off collaborations. Does anyone have the government policy paper on this project- implementation plan. As the political drive and gusto has settled and the government teams are very well informed
across many areas. I am hoping that January 2014 will be running parallel research and experiments in sample schools per county inorder to inform the best model before full fledge piloting
across the country. This will help in identifying the best place to take a bite of this jigsaw i.e where best ISOC KE may engage with other institutions in Education, Security, ICTs...etc. From this generate actions that each institution may take on, the red flags , who else is required and how to make the project better and better. Over to you! Have a pleasant day. Regards/Wangari
I think step one is to critically examine the merits and demerits of this project as is happening on other lists. We have had beautiful projects that went down the drain like
Nyayo Bus and Nyayo Car that were well thought out and ill conceived, we have another opportunity and a fresh 50 years to start afresh,there is a difference between having laptops in school and using laptops to educate our children, as it is we are too fazed
with having laptops in schools that we are forgeting the noble objective of using the laptops to educate. School is an eco-system hence in my humble opinion the first phase is to gather stakeholders in this eco-system and walk with them in the entire project,
this is not a government project, neither is it a projects for kids, its for Kenyans because Tax payers will foot the bill. Our immediate Concern as the Internet Society would be CyberSecurity and ensuring the Security of our Children Online, this is what we would need to monitor in our local neighborhoods
apart from supporting the teachers. Probably we would start by identifying a list of Volunteers so that we inform the necessary authorities and see how we can complement the efforts of stakeholders in implementing the presidential directive.
