Teachers Talking (TT) is an introduction to ICT (Information and Communication Technology) for teachers in rural Africa. It is an inservice training course which ran for the first time in 2004 at Fantsuam Foundation. It has taken various forms over the years, and has also been presented in Kenya. Pamela McLean designed and presented the course at John Dada's request when local teachers started asking to become computer literate.
In rural Nigeria people tend to go into the bush and hunt for honey, rather than keeping bees. Hunting for honey involves killing the bees; the resulting honey is not as clean as honey taken from managed hives.People at Fanstuam have been wondering if it would be possible to keep bees at Attachab, and so Dadamac is helping them to find out. (This is a Dadamac OK project - people are sharing knowledge, but we will also need to find some resources).
Folabi (Fola) Sunday teaches in a primary school in rural Nigeria - a motor-cycle ride away from Ago-Are, in Oyo State. He is a Dadamac Self Directed Learner, who keeps in contact with the "connected community" through his phone, and joins in First Thursday chats whenever he can.
The Knowledge Resource Centre (KRC) is in a building on the main site of our sister organisation Fantsuam Foundation. The KRC offers free Internet connectivity, and reference books, CDs and DVDs. It is also sometimes used for meetings and non-formal training.
