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?
