Subject: from the "what's in a name" dept -- change of .EDU registration policy
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
As you may be aware, there has been a change in Registrar and policies
for who may register in .EDU.
http://www.educause.edu/asp/faq/faq.asp?code=EDUELIGIBILITY#faq166
I have definitely noticed the trend of Community Colleges making the
effort to re-register from say
host.CC.st.US
to
host.EDU
This .EDU cache must be very important to them since the effort of
changing WEB pages, hardcopy documentation, bookmarks, promotional
material, etc. is quite time-consuming, requiring lots of coordination
with all involved.

BARCLAYS DONATES TO MOBILE TELECENTRE IN GHANA
The Mobile Telecentre-To-Go, a UNDP initiative, received a $5,000 check to
support its ongoing work to expand the IT market base and integrate IT into
schools and businesses. Launched in February 2001, the program serves 24
schools in Accra and works with 80 trainees a day. Barclays has had a
relationship with the UNDP since 1993 and pledge ongoing support for ICT
projects in Ghana and other African nations. The Regional Program
Coordinator said, "With the increase in demand well beyond our projections,
we will welcome with great appreciation and thanks, the second by Barclays
to support the replication of the project in other African countries."

TEACHER TRAINING ON COMPUTERS 'POOR'
A recent report has revealed that while England's National Grid for Learning
Strategy has made "an important contribution" to information and
communication technology, the training for teachers was "unsatisfactory" and
"has not yet had an impact." Since the release of the report there has been
improvement in teacher training, but in six out of 10 departments using
information communication technologies (ICT) there has been little evidence
that it has had a "beneficial impact on teaching." The report concluded that
the government would need to "set out broad intentions" for ongoing funding,
design a long-term national strategy for high-speed Internet access, and
build ICT training into the national program for school managers.
