Hi Randy,
Thanks for the link and comment. I checked the author's blog and
couldn't help but agree with him that blogging indeed is his passion.
As someone who is equally passionate about technology application in
classrooms in Africa, I feel the message and application of blogging,
wikis and the other emerging tools in the Web 2.0 package are still
years away in several African countries. I have been monitoring the
participants' list of ongoing and previous wiki training sessions by
countries and it has almost always been South Africa with Uganda,
Kenya and Tanzania occasionally showing their presence.
I am informed that the West Africa WikiEducators' regional chapter
with secretariat at the University of Education, Winneba in Ghana is
active, but this doesn't seem to be the case. Do others see the sub-
Sahara Africa situation through similar lenses as mine or probably I
am expecting too much from these countries? The issues have either
been lack of Internet access or slow connectivity but the situation is
changing fast with improved facilities. Anyway, this is just a
personal observation and would appreciate other comments too. Thanks
once again, Randy!

Hi Everyone,
I came across this interesting blogpost - Blogging is my Ph.D.
-http://pairadimes.davidtruss.com/my-blog-is-my-phd/
The author talks about his excitement in learning, doing and reflecting
along the way -- leading to a real sense of accomplishment.
This reminds me of what many WikiEducators have achievedby developing
materials, learning new skills, just doing it, they are learning more about
technology, blended learning, community development -- and stretching
themselves in the process.
It's a great way to learn and to be
- Randy
