Hi,
I am quite honoured by this but surprised too, as the page is quite old and
I have not updated it for some years. It’s a good reminder to do so!.
Wikieducator still retains an essential place in any engagement I have in
regard to digital literacy and the tutorial is still very useful and
appreciated by people I have worked with especially teachers. In this part
of the world we still have appalling connectivity, with almost all rural
schools in Solomon islands unconnected; those that are struggle with some of
the highest bandwidth prices in the world; even in Honiara it is not true to
say that broadband is widely available if you go by any contemporary
definition. I pay USD 420 per month for a 256 connection – add on purchasing
power to the equation and for most the Internet is way out of reach beyond a
meagre allocation of megabytses in their mobile phone top-up, quickly
gobbled up by Facebook. The dominant telco hasn’t changed their ADSL prices
since at least 5 years or more, and the authorities seem to be dominated by
neoliberal ideologies, the consequences of the resulting uneven market
response means that most school children still go through their entire
school careers without acquiring any digital literacies. However, even with
these challenges we see some light, a new satellite Internet company Kacific
is launching a Ka-band HTS satellite in a couple of years that will bring
cable-like connectivity in terms of prices to any inhabited island in the
region, which should shake things up tremendously in favour of the digitally
marginalised. So my point is that many educators and learners have not yet
had the chance to benefit from collaboration and creativity tools such as
Wikieducator, this will change and with benefits of scale that may mean
content communities take on critical mass and educational institutions will
begin to engage with the technology seeing it as more widely applicable. So
I remain a huge fan of WE.
