I don't know if you are still looking for contributors.
The Teachers Talking initiative my be of interest.
It it based around a five day introduction to IT course. It is for teachers in rural Nigeria and is being held in Kafanchan by Fantsuam Foundation at the end of Nov/early dec.
There is a small support group (from four continents) ready to welcome the rural teachers to the connectied community.
Some of your listeners may like to participate.
See http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CawdTeachersTalking/
My connection is that I am helping to run the course, and have set up the yahoo group.

On 20/21 November we run what may well be the most interesting event in the education arena. It's called Global Learn Day and this is our eighth time doing it. It's a 24 hour non stop event which features exceptional people from all 24 time zones. We open in the South Pacific and travel, virtually, west to Hawaii.
Speakers and audience choose to listen over the phone or over the Net. We bridge the voices with a neat little device from a Los Angeles vendor which costs about $125. It's really slick is *very* useful for virtual events.
I'm looking for people who are willing to give up to eight hours in total to help with the bridging. Their benefit? I will give them the bridging device; but the main benefit is learning more about providing really KISS simple technology for virtual events.
Those interested might write to me on or off list. Or they may wish to call me over the friendliest, most ubiquitous communication device ever invented - the telephone. 541 343 9389.
P.S. Those interested should come from either Canada or the USA.
P.P.S. Those who might like to be speakers or presenters are also encouraged to contact me. We have a few slots open and could, almost certainly put you on some panels with other smart people. Most of the event is organized in a "roundtable" format - so all you have to do is talk, talk, talk. (Viewers are encouraged to look at links and/or we "push" web pages at them.) But the best part is the interactive voice conversations. If you can talk and have something people would like to listen to on public radio stations, this is an event for you. (Plug Plug)
