Networking Schools There are huge benefits from putting Internet access into underresourced classrooms. The challenge is to make a pedagogical shift not only amongst teachers but also amongst ministries or departments of education, to bring about changes in curriculum, human resource policies and technology management in schools. The benefits of doing so are that schools, even in remote areas, enter a global classroom. However, the effort to network schools raises a host of issues. These include community educational policy issues, teacher training and capacity building, teacher motivation and remuneration, and a whole set of community value issues. Go to the workshop session. Schoolnets need to deal with the question of finance and sustainable support. At Inhambane in Mozambique, EPCI has a hybrid model delivering services to the community by subsiding the network centre with revenue streams from public usage. See EPCI and the session on Networking Schools. Some relevant projects are listed below. Go to the Project Websites page for links to their web pages (where available).
