Too good to be true?





Broadband internet access, satellite access, phone access .....


Now...we've just got to find enough jobs in remote communities so that people can stay there and make use of all these services....and, we've got to upskill staff to be able to use it to create effective learning spaces....hmmm, where do we start......

Wow - I'm not sure what is happeining! How skilled are people?
How much of this has been requested? What will happen when (if )these are provided? What sort of infrastructure is in place? Whats the purpose?

Oh Alicia - I would love to warp back 25 years and take today's technology back to the time when I was teacher/linguist in a bilingual education program in a remote community!
All those hours of hand setting reading books using individual rub-on Lettraset letters; of getting literacy workers hand-drawing illustrations; pasting-up finished pages; duplicating them; and machine-stitching them into "reading books"!
And I have a friend still involved in literacy in the NT who is not computer literate!
Good luck with your great (in all senses) work!!
