RE: The OpenSchool is open: the first trial lesson at a school in Nigeria is a success!
This is such a great project. I hope you get lots of new teachers in the near future.
Teaching people who may have difficulties accessing education is one of the best thing our countries can do to help the world become a better place.
Well done!
Unfortunately I'm not really close to the education sector so I can't say I know teachers personally.
I would have knowledge of telecommunications and software engineering myself but my main problem is time.
With a full time job and a young family to keep me busy I find it already difficult enough to write one post a week.
I could advertise the openschool project in my oldest son' school but he is in primary school.
This is definitely a project that's worth pursuing though. Maybe I could investigate with our department of education over here to see if they would be willing to help in finding teachers in Ireland.
Any material would be of help I think.
What about an openschool website? Maybe I could help here.
Absolutely @irelandscape, thank you!
Let me know if any of the teachers you might know could be interested. I wrote a post about a call for teachers just now: https://steemit.com/education/@muphy/openschool-call-for-teachers
Thank you also for proposing to help with a website. I will keep that in mind. For now, the Openschool is just an embryo, but if it grows with multiple links, we will definitely need a website. Your help then would be highly appreciated!
Olivier, I so agree with you on this one! Years ago, I had a 1-on-1 chat with a very known alternative French politician (Jose Bove). I asked him this: the world can't help putting itself into inextricable messes. What is wrong?
He answered with one word: Education. So simple, and that's what it is. Education is of course key ...
So this is my drop in the ocean. But a drop is not enough, I would like to at least contribute for a good gallon. This is why I am working on trying to find other teachers with the vision that @obamike and I share. Any chance you know some in your surroundings ?
:-)
