For a graduate course on international education technology, students were asked to design an appropriate educational technology project that would be "implemented" in Uganda. This was my groups proposal-- "Teach it Mobile". This presentation was for our potential investors and partners.

1. Teach it Mobile

5.  Enhance lessons in science and math
 Create a support network for teachers
 Provide a forum for sensitive or
dangerous subject matter
 Increase technological knowledge
 Efficiently & cost effectively reach
more students

7. These projects provided useful background knowledge, experience and
structure to be able to adapt to our proposed Teach It Mobile technology
project in Uganda.
