Thank you for taking time to point out the two responses of teacher in the African survey. Those concerns are far from being isolated observations of one learning community. Spending hours in resource centers and attending workshops to get answers to those two questions, have usually left the teacher with nothing to show for the effort. Hopefully the portals discussed early this year of providing information by grade level (age) and by subject will become the approach used by WikiEducator.org. A easy to use source that can provide relevant up to date information quickly and locally is very much needed so that humanity and the earth can survive. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Thank you Jim Kelly http://www.wikieducator.org/User:Jkelly952
