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!
