Thank you for a most enlightening letter. You have given me an insight
into a culture and circumstance I have not had the privilege of
experiencing.
You have also given me food for thought. As an Educational/Instructional
Technologist the statement about chalk boards without chalk shows the need
for parallel development of technology. I think it may also be symbolic
of the plight of LO's, and education as a whole, in both developing and
"established" countries. We are developing methods and means to improve
and implement new paradigms of each without developing a natural
"technology" at the same time; the human being. In a lot of cases the new
method (chalk board) is being taken from the theoretical level to the
practical level without developing the human factor (chalk) at the same
time (parallel development). I realize this leads to the circular
argument of which comes first, the implementation of a new process or
education of the end users. A most interesting topic for discussion.
I would also like to ask about the increase of AIDS and TB among the
predatory fauna of Kruger National Park. I can see where refugees
crossing the plains of a natural wildlife reserve become just another herd
animal for them but I have not heard of the cross species contamination
before. Please send me the reference for this study.
Again Thank You
