@obadiah I will do that and probably those who do not have the websites yet we could engage them in some biz
Yep,considering the experience I could be in a position to write the book and then later on go for anoter pilot t give them the book.hehe
Guys I ave eight schools onboard and harnessing for two more to attain the threshold of 10.
More updates later.
so far we have. Nyeri high school Nyeri baptist Secondary school St. Marys secondary school Temple road secondary school Othaya boys high school Othaya Girls High school Karima Boys High school Gatuge Girls secondary school

Oba, all in the name of making wikipedia their site of choice, which is cool .That will largely depend on how they rate it ,another question maybe do the schools with internet connectivity have websites ? ,maybe Steve you capture that to advance Obadia's idea ,

if the schools have websites could we organize to have them have a link to wikipedia, cohosted with the website.....just a wild thought. congrats for all you are doing to ensure the Nyeri pilot's a success!

Heko Stevo , maybe now that you did experience how schools differ in terms of
resources,
after the Nyri pilot you should consider writing a book ' ...the
disperity
in resource allocation in Kenyan schools ' then u upload it in
wikibooks
,just kidding 4 the conservative schools with the internet you can share with
them
the fact that they can buy internet security solutions that can block
other
sites n give priority to wikipidia and other other web based content providers , thanks 4 the updates

Hi guys, The Nyeri previsit has been a success now that this was just the
first
day.
I have managed to visit four schools.
One thing I have noted different with Nyeri,all these schools have
internet
connection unlike the incidents in the other regions,sorry to say,and
even
better they all have websites.
The teachers involved have been receptive to the idea that the
content
that
we are giving has been filtered for secondary curricular and that
this
would
be used when the teachers would not be able to be around when
students
are
around,on that note so far Three schools have said "yes we can"
proceed.
They are; Nyeri high School. St. Marys Secondary school Nyeri Baptist high.
Mt. Kenya academy senior school said they would call back after
making
up their mind,which to me sounded like a NO.
Cheers
