Dr. John Katopodis - Said he'd like to get some fortification and get some analogies
Prof. Calestous - Said that when discussing the laptop with executives in Africa, it is useful to mention the idea of leap-frogging telecommunications through cell phones and how this can relate to the laptop.. He also mentioned how powerful the idea of customizing textbooks. He mentioned that in his home region near Lake Victoria in Kenya, the children are not interested in counting cows (as done in most textbooks based on region) but are interested in fish.. If teachers could customize the textbooks they would be more effective..
