The package consists of three interwoven elements:

• A six hour workshop for teachers.
• A 15 minute Who-Am-I? program  presentation package for school management.
• A training session for schools' technology facilitators in which both the teacher workshop and the presentation package for management are parts.

Our goal has been to design a training package that could "roll like a snowball" at very low cost - after having been given once by skilled Kidlink Institute/Education people in your area or country.

This effect will be achieved by inviting technology facilitators from several schools to the first workshop in your area.

After the training session, the facilitators will be able to repeat the exercise in their own schools, while at the same time contributing to train more computer facilitators at other schools.

"Snowball," right? Provided that the facilitators want to do it, that is... Why should they? Because inviting skilled technology facilitators to help promises better results than by just doing it themselves, and at no extra costs. Besides, working with colleague facilitators might also provide interesting exchanges of experiences among peers, and opportunities for improved cooperation. It is a win-win situation!

A guide for translating the workshop is available. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you want to discuss how to get started with the training in your area.

Yours sincerely,
