The new Web 2.0 technologies are revolutionising access to education and learning in general. I love the way I can join in conferences that are overseas and link with people from all over the world.
For educators, the ability to link with learners 'where they are' is fantastic, and of course visa versa. Distance doesn't have to be the barrier anymore - except of course if broadband is not in your zone.
We visited Ethiopia in January and here are some pictures of technology in a third world country.
One shows a satellite disc for houses that are made of mud and cow dung and rush matting.
The other is a computer shop in Addis.

Wow Ann - I had no idea you had been to Ethiopia! And I'd to hear more about satellite services for people who live in a very different world to ours...
Thanks for the pix!
