Global possibilities in educational technology
I recently wrote to a colleague in Central Asia about the innovations that are happening in North America regarding self education. Has the Canadian and US State Departments erected firewalls or can the progress being made here in education be exported/shared with less affluent countries? Also, can self-education be packaged such that Internet connections are not always required? My training was as an agricultural Extension educator working with fruit producers in eastern USA. Several times I went overseas to train people in the field. I see great potential in what is being discussed at this site.

@Frank Bergdoll Thank you, Frank. Your’s is a favorite name for me, same as several ancestors and my son. You have inspired me to take stock of my career in Extension work and what I may have done differently if I had not retired in 2017. I still am invited to speak to Extension audiences but I miss the student contact I had, especially the evening courses in commercial horticulture at community colleges in Charlottesville and Richmond. My last overseas work in Tajikistan was with the now defunct USAID. Our last session was without travel but I supported the Tajik agronomist doing Extension education with WhatsApp. That too might make some good content…collaborative work with adult educators in countries 1/2 way around the globe.
