I played this presentation and some of the music and sounds from the enlumen.net blog on Ed Radio today. Gerald Henzinger, who works in Beira, Mozambique, presents on how new technologies are being sued in restricted learning environments such as are found in that country. Here are the slides. Conditions are difficult - power is often off and at one point there was no internet for three weeks - but growth of the program is exponential.
