UNESCO Broadband in Education Report
David Leeming
Dear all,
Attached (please look for the attachment and download)
A recent report from UNESCO and the International telecommunication Union (ITU)’s Broadband Commission on Digital Development that explains the rationale and gives some inspiration from case studies and examples of best practice.
It is not too difficult to read. The main report starts on page 8. Well worth a read!
Teachers! Let’s make this a discussion. Please let me know what stands out for you.
I am working on two online resources which I will invite all teachers (and students in some areas) to use. Both of these will exercise one of today’s “critical skills for working and living”; that is collaboration
· A UNESCO Knowledge Community – Solomon Islands Teachers Forum. This is an easy to access and use website, that works a bit like Facebook but it is simpler and closed for invited teachers/educators.
· A Lesson Plan Template that uses the WikiEducator. This will allow you to share your lesson plan ideas and importantly, to borrow others ideas, adopt them to as you see fit, and put back your new version and help build up a large pool of free resources.
I will let you know when these are set up ready for use.

Dear Fred,
I sympathise with your concerns at this time!
Within the context of my email, perhaps we can hope improved ICT will be promote better communication, sharing and collaboration and avert more such disruptions in the future.
Best wishes,

David,
Thank you for this. I suggest you extend the invitation to SINTA too. Better way of using their time (and expertise if any) than on unnecessarily interrupting children’s’ education and wasting teachers’ times and getting paid for doing nothing worthwhile.
Thank you,
