Hi, Kosh. I too am new to classroom 2.0. I am excited about the opportunity to communicate with other teachers who are utilizing 21st century technologies in their classrooms!

Welcome, Kosh.

Hi Kosh
When the site says someone is online, it doesn't necessarily mean that they are on the Classroom 2.0 NING so I've only just got your messages!
Good to meet you
Lisax

Hi Kosh,
will be great to have you on classroom 2.0, there is alot to learn and share, i must confess i like the idea of recreating and spreading the concept of Adult Education and distance learning in Africa..
sure will be inspiring to have you as a friend
Thanks Kosh!

Hello and welcome Kosh. It seems that you may be a leader in education in your country. How exciting for us all to have you join us.

Hello, Kosh. Like many others I too am new to Classroom 2.0. I will be great to hear from you. I am looking forward to meeting many like-minded educators in this online community.

Welcome, Kosh! It is exciting to make new friends from around the world that share our love of teaching and learning with technology. I hope this collaboration site brings many new ideas and opportunities to your class. Keep in touch!

Hi Kosh,

Thanks for commenting on my wall and asking me to be a friend...I am wondering if you have met Dr. Konrad Glogowski...I know he is there somewhere conducting workshops for teachers...I am very interested in how schooling works in your country...I am pretty new to Classroom 2.0 as well...New technologies seem an excellent way to collaborate with other teachers from very far away...I hope that you get a lot from this ning...also wondering what kind of connection speed you have...among other things...

hello Kosh. Good to meet you. It's great to see someone from Africa in here. I have friends who are very attached to Africa! I'd love to learn more about the way education works there. You might also be interested in the Flat Classrooms ning if you are wanting to do some collaborative things as well.

Hi Kosh, it os good to hear from you. I woul love to hear about the way of education in Africa. Maybe we can collaberate on some things. My school year will be starting soon and it would be great to get together and maybe skype a conversation.

Hi Kosh,
It is good to hear from you. My school has a partnership with a school in Africa (I'm not sure exactly where) and I am excited to have this opportunity to correspond with you. What subjects and age groups do you teach?

Thank for connecting Kosh. So I can better connect and help with you desire, deserve and dreams, please tell me more about your current ideas about what you would you like to "learn, and contribute" and how you would like to "link up" with and how you would describe "like-minded people." What is MSIP?
My business colleagues and I specialize mostly in personal development/life skills. I have been working on the world's first personal development university for over 5 years, and am planning on launching it before the end of this summer.

Good to meet you Kosh, I would be glad to partner with you to bring distance learning to Africa. I'm a math teacher and I've put together many resources to link to math websites and video lessons. If this would be of help to you, let me know.

Thank you Kosh, for connecting! I am a counselor of educational Honor society -- and we have a chapter at my college. Let's think of the project that my students - future teachers - might help the teachers and students in your area. Ludmilla

Thanks for the message Kosh. I am an Instructional Technologist / Designer at my university (Lee University) in Tennessee.
I will do all that I can to be of any help and hope that I may learn from you and others here as well.

My university brings students to teach in Ghana, usually in the spring semester. I am not involved with that group, so I am not familiar with the names of the schools where they work.
They are usually there from March till May (I think) it could be January to March.
I work with students that want to teach in Ukraine - and I travel there with them.

Hi- glad to meet you. I am from Pennsylvania, USA and I am an English teacher in a secondary school.

Hi Kosh, nice tof you to send me an invite. I am a teacher in England, leading E-learning to senior students. What do you do?

Kosh, E-learning opens the door to so many opportunities. I teach an online graduate program at UW-Stout.

To join the program you must have a bachelor's degree. Experience in training or teaching is always a plus.

Another approach is to get involved with Moodle. Moodle is open source and has an international support community that is vital and committed to creating learning opportunities for everyone.

Check out for ideas, materials and training too.

Hi Kosh - it's good to see you getting so involved! As a film person, please take a look at my nonprofit's site (nextvista.org). If there is something there that brings to mind possibilities for collaborating, please let me know. You can reach me at rh (at) nextvista.org.

Hello friend, Thanks for dropping me a note. Omiyinka

hey mate

im new to this site and read one of your comments and thought we could share some ideas

Hi Kosh,

I'd be happy to find ways to work together, but I don't have any avenues for helping you get funded. If other educational projects would be of interest, please let me know.

Good luck,
Rushton

Hi Kosh

i keep missing you on skype, would like to sit down and see how we could get a project happening. You can find me at www.mrrobbo.com to see what sort of subjects im teaching at present, if you get a chance read my blog and make a comment would enjoy reading your throughts, cheers

Thanks for connecting here, Kosh... This is a really busy time for me right now but I look forward to learning more about you shortly.

No I don't. Sorry.

Hi Kosh,
Yes - I am an afficionado of African drumming and love to teach my pre-service music teachers about it! I have a friend from Ghana who often presents conference workshops on Ghanaian drumming/dance/singing - Kofi Goblonyo. Do you know of him? Would love to hear more about your music experience in Ghana.

My preschool students learn about Africa when I teach a major thematic unit on Big Cats of the World. Of course, we learn about Lions in Africa. We use the geography of the world as an introduction to the unit, learning that the world is made of air, land, and water. The three and four year old students are taught that all of the earth's land are called continents and that all of the earth's water are called oceans. We learn that we live on the continent of North America, and that we must cross the Atlantic Ocean to get to Africa. We then discuss the most effective mode of travel...for instance, do we drive there, sail there or fly there...The children through a series of exercises and activities, as well as some direct instruction, come to the conclusion that flying would be the most effective mode of transportation. We create a classroom airport for the trip and go on from there!

Hi Kosh...Because I teach in a Private School, with a large international population, Diversity is largely a part of the curriculum. My former colleague was born in Liberia, so that we were able to give the children a glimpse of all of the beauty of the continent without an overview of the strife, that we, as adults are all too much aware. Our school, is committed to begin the teaching of acceptance and service to our fellow man as early as our school begins...

Hey Kosh,
I am into using media in education, and as a teacher I constantly draw on my 12 years working in the film industry, isn't a school like a big film production team!?
keep in touch, Good Luck,
Gavin
