I recently blogged about an idea of how we can use the power of wiki’s to come up with some sort of Digital Literacy curriculum which African students across the continent can use to improve their digital skills and more importantly which they can use to make a positive impact in their own lives and communities.
I’m glad to announce that I have made some headway with this project and in collaboration with the African Tech Network (ATN), have announced the project and we will be launching it very soon. I made the announcement on the ATN blog and if the blog stats and the enrolment on the African Tech Network are anything to go by, I believe we are going to get somewhere with this.
Discussions on the wiki-based digital literacy website are now on going in the ATN forum page (You will need to sign up for an ATN account). Please feel free to make a contribution which in turn I believe will give an African student somewhere the opportunity to make a positive impact in their lives and communities.
I say this because by giving these students these resources, we are essentially fueling their dreams, aspirations and ambitions which may one day turn into the solutions and innovations that will change the entire course of the future of this continent!
Many thanks to @jscarantino and the @AfricanTechNet for the help on this project!
