[school-discuss] Looking for an international lecturer on free software in schools

["CPE-SAT (German Bustos)" <cpe@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

My name is German Bustos, I'm contractor for Computadores para Educar, a 
Colombian government program which has brought computers for thousands 
of Colombian public schools since 2001, this program offers also 
teacher’s training in the use of computers in classes. All these 
computers are running MS Windows, but there is a growing interest in 
free software. Packages like OpenOffice.org and Mozilla are been tested 
to be used on those machines.

A national meeting of teachers using computers will take place at June 
28th, 29th and 30th in Bogotá, it is expected that at least 500 teachers 
from all the country would participate y that meeting.

We are looking for an international lecturer who can teach Colombian 
educators how to use free software in their classes and schools, what 
are the advantages of this kind of software specifically for education. 
We have special interest in the use of computer technologies in teaching 
subjects like math, language and science.

We are also contacting national groups that promote free software to 
participate in the meeting.

Can you please help me to find such a lecturer?

Thanks a lot,
