@newcomer,if I may pitch in a bit. To add value,try to think of what applications could also benefit teachers (time management,exams,attendance,etc....that way you are NOT selling computers per se,rather,a way of simplifying their lives....e.g. will it help a class teacher grade the students FASTER if they have a small application in which they can enter student scores. What application can a school head use to analyse student performance vis a vis teachers (and further by subject,attendance,etc) - can this application help in developing teachers and students. Think along the lines of adding value by applications. Also,there are various NGOs that are involved in ICT in education and could be brought into play to help in other matters....and I know for a fact some vendors like Intel are lookign keenly at placing PCs in schools (but with students rather than with teachers).....also,what abt a portal for teachers - like how SK brings together investors....you can bring teachers together countrywide to discuss all manner of things - curriculum,union issues,curbing cheating,corporal punishment,etc...


For such a site you could receive support from the Kenya ICT Board (www.ict.go.ke) whose mandate include driving technology adoption....and such a portal is content which is intrumental in driving adoption of technology and making it relevant.

@Djinn; be kind to your readers....use paragraphs

@newcomer; computer business has cut-throat compe. margins are thin,you have to drive high volumes to make any meaningful money.

When you say 'education consultancy',exactly what do you mean? Private revision classes,helping people set up schools....what?

Consultants generally don't need special licenses. The quality of their work speaks for itself. So you have to be very good at whatever you want to be a consultant in.

Out of curiosity,do you have university degree in education?

@Djinn; May be your browser......Google Chrome? You are the first one I've heard using that one! Which OS are you using?

Anyway; most people use Mozilla or IE.

I'm a Mozilla fan.

Some times I am able to post pictures,sometimes not. Never figured out why.

Do you want to migrate to Mozilla?

I use all 3. @Djinn's problem is inherent to Google Chrome.

Time and chance happen to all.

@mukiha - go to www.google.com/chrome - it is hands down much faster (and safer) than IE or Mozilla. I use Windows XP. Try it and share your experiences....but I find it ultra fast. And I already have firefox.

@Djinn;

It turns out that I had downloaded and even installed Chrome. It didn't look appealing to me. Now that you say it's super fast,I have opened it and tried to access SK. It appeared slower than my trusted Firefox.

And,hey; I can put paragraphs with Firefox...and type in Italics or in bold......

@mukiha - to post a pic/image here,it must be on a web server + connected to the internet. This is not the same as being on your local computer.

E.g. you can cut & paste from google images but not necessarily from your images saved on your hard drive. For these (local computer) you may need to sign up to an online photo album like flickr,and save/tranfer them there....... then cut & paste from there.

aha! Now I see. I can bold and underline.



I can also do bullets


and numbers

Cool. I think for SK I will use Mozilla.

BTW other than SK,try other sites like CNN,BBC and do more than one try (cookies,cache,etc).
