1. Hello everybody It is a real pleasure for me to introduce myself here. I would want to tell I am more at home in French than in English so would you excuse my mistakes, please. My name is Todisoa (Girard Ratodisoa). I am a teacher trainer in the Ministry of Education in Madagascar. We are eager to have our children involved in ICT so I am one of the people in charge of developping this program in Madagascar. We have 3 high schools implementing the beginning of this governmental program and there is much to do. Hope to hear from you all soon Todisoa

2.Hello to all, I am very happy to take part of this discussion. My name is Lucrecia and I live in a small village to the north of the Argentina country next to the border with Paraguay country. I am a teacher in a secondary school for 22 years. I think that we must use the new technologies to teach, the pupils like studying more using the new technologies. I coordinate the Global Teenager Project in Spanish in Latin America and many schools take part being employed at different topics. Best Regards Lucrecia

3. Hi, I am Nicholas Blessing Mavengere. I am a Lecturer at a University in Mozambique called ISPU Quelimane. I am also a Researcher in a project (FMFI project) involving a a nearby High School called Patrice Lumumba High School. We are in the pilot phrase of the project with a group of 26 students (16 girls and 10 boys) aged between 15 - 18 years. The project is basically to teach the students ICT tools which will aid them in their studies. We will also teach their teachers the use of the the ICT tools. The content aslo include HIV/AIDS education and child abuse awareness. I am actively involved in the use of ICT innovations to improve classroom administration and Learning methodology. I am also looking forward to doing my Masters in ICT for develoment in which I would like to do a thesis in line with education. Looking forward to a rich and innovative discussion. Regards, Nicholas

4. Hello world, glad to be a part of this project. I'm Kosturski Emilija, IT teacher from Macedonia. I've been teaching for 14 years, and my stydents are teenagers (15-18). 14 years ago, I thought teaching will be my temporary job, now I'm sure working with children is the best work in the world. Since I have been working in the secondary medical school, my stydents are future doctors, nurses, dentists, physicians... And it is my responsibility not only to teach them how to use the ICT for itself only, but to make them prepared that the ICT knowledge will be very strong tool in their Life Long Learning. Looking forward to participate in this discussion about ICT innovations, The best regards from Bitola, Macedonia Emilija
