We, ICT4D.at (www.ICT4D.at), are organizing a comprehensive IT course in Stone Town, Zanzibar, Tanzania, from the beginning of July until the end of September 2009. The basic idea is to teach a group of 3 ? 5 students with basic skills in web design to build solid web applications using PHP and Java as well as setting up diverse Web applications like wiki (MediaWiki), CMS (Joomla!) and blog software (Wordpress). Also, basic Linux (Ubuntu) skills should be mediated, not only by using Linux throughout the whole course. For complete information on the course itself please refer to http://wiki.ict4d.at/Zanzi bits_Support.
Unfortunately, the teacher that intended to go there for the first six weeks, so from beginning of July until mid of August, quit completely so we are currently searching for someone who is interested and fulfills the requirements stated below. ICT4D.at supports possible teachers as follows: - 50% of the airfare to Zanzibar and retour is paid (so approx. ? 400 are to be paid by yourself). - The visa is paid. - Accommodation near the location of the IT course is provided (single bed room). - Spending money to cover expenses for victuals is provided. - A Swahili course with altogether 15 units to 1,5 hours each held weekly in Vienna is paid. - Martin Konzett who has been in Stone Town several times will travel to Stone Town with you and introduce you to the local habits and culture as well as to the students and anyone you need to know in Zanzibar. What we require from a possible teacher: - Necessary skills: PHP (object oriented and using a framework like CodeIgniter or equal), Linux basics & administration (Ubuntu), Java basics (OOP basics). - Skills in setting up wiki, CMS or blog software are advantageous but not required. - The ability to teach a group of 3 - 5 people around 20 years old 3 hours a day, 5 times a week, 6 weeks altogether and to prepare for the course independently (which can be done on-site in Stone Town every day for the following day's lesson, of course). - The motivation to learn Swahili as well as possible before departure and to lead the course in English and Swahili. - The ability to tailor the education in the course to the student's needs individually as student's education and skills may vary.
