Karyn Romeis responded to my South African reflection by linking to her own African tale. Her words struck a chord because I returned from Africa (South Africa and Kenya) only a few weeks ago, and my experiences there profoundly changed me as a teacher and a human being. Her entry took me back to many schools and classrooms that I visited in Kenya as part of the Teachers Without Borders-Canada project.
Here’s a link to Karyn’s entry and to a version I annotated using Diigo.
Filmed at Glendale Secondary School in Mitchell’s Plain, a township outside of Cape Town, South Africa. The Teachers Without Borders team conducted workshops on ICT integration and Web 2.0.
Final video of the Virtual Classroom Project hosted on the Islands of jokaydia in April and June, 2008. For more information about the project, click here.

Your pages are rather interesting. In many ways it reminded me of the developing countries in similar situations. Hope that the borders can be broken in the future.
