• #8: Lying at the heart of those questions were assumptions about these three tools … the one question I didn’t ask was whether you used iPhones, and that’s because the project I am about to discuss is more likely to use Android smartphones than any other make. But also, whatever your personal responses to these questions, there is ample evidence that both Twitter and YouTube provide excellent avenues for continuing professional development, building communities of practice and sharing resources. And both of these are freely available on Android smartphones. 
• #10: today I am outlining a plan to develop a continuing professional toolkit which uses twitter and youtube to disseminate community of practice building activities and open education resources, specifically targeting primary and secondary school teachers in low-income SSA nations. The plan makes no assumptions about use of Twitter or Youtube and aims to take teachers step by step through setting up accounts, searching, hashtags etc in order to shorten the amount of time it might take teachers to adopt these tools. In high income countries we took about five years (2007-2012) to really embed Twitter in our personal learning networks, I propose that it might be possible to tighten this up a bit. It does adopt video as it’s primary medium and YouTube as it’s main hub, --- which may need a rethink because it’s difficult (almost impossible) to create community on the YouTube platform.
• #11: These figures here are general mobile phone subscriptions so they include basic phones, feature phones as well as smart phones. But smartphones are the future. Data coming out does show that smartphone use is increasing and that use of social networking is also increasing. There is also evidence that governments encouraging cell companies to provide cheap enough data plans is also paying off. Those countries that don’t do that (like Malawi for example) have seen little or no change in subscriptions. YouTube is rolling out offline access. Android is free. Twitter is still free. My point is that now is the time to put in place some resources that make use of changing habits.
• #12: the first objective is to provide a set of videos and accompanying activities for trainee teachers to access via their universities that guide them through using twitter and encourage the formation of support groups.
• #13: Lets make this learning design a bit easier to read. the second objective is to provide a second set of videos and activities that guide teachers through the creation and remixing of OER video (for example within this will be translations of the first set of video scripts into indigenous languages for captioning). This is feasible within the program parameters, i.e. everything needs to be able to be seen, used and created on a smartphone, because YouTube creator studio is now available as an app.
• #14: I discovered a set of CPD OER videos created by Chrissi Nerantzi (https://goo.gl/uW0qam links to the MMU Food for thought playlist on Youtube). She has kindly given me access to her template and I am in the process of remixing it so that it is suitable for this new project.
• #15: And that is the link that has been provided on the altc page for this presentation (https://goo.gl/NA1t38 – draft video storyboard template). All comments welcomed. Any great ideas for Titles also warmly appreciated! But perhaps you think this is all a little ambitious? To be honest I have conflicting feelings, on the one hand I think that its an obvious next step and would be great to get these resources in place ready for the smartphone explosion that’s coming, on the other I have concerns about pushing this from our privileged environments. However, because if it worked it would be cheap, more or less self-sustaining and as those of us in high-income countries pretty much taking access to the internet for granted, are lucky enough to know, it could be a very powerful addition to the teacher training arsenal, I think it is worth taking the risk!

• #18: UBER TAXI DRIVER from Eritrea…..definitions of teacher…. he got through 12th grade, was good at maths, so he taught 1-5th grades! It was ��my niece …. who lives in Rwanda …. who added the repairs issue! But perhaps you think this is all a little ambitious? To be honest I have conflicting feelings, on the one hand I think that its an obvious next step and would be great to get these resources in place ready for the smartphone explosion that’s certainly coming, on the other I have concerns about pushing this from my place of privilege. However, if it worked it would be cheap, more or less self-sustaining and it could be a very powerful addition to the teacher training arsenal, so I think it is worth taking the risk!
