REMOTE TEACHING USING CCTV

There are so many wonderful additional opportunities with CCTV.

One with great potential, especially in a country like South Africa, is the opportunity to to share high quality teachers with schools that don't have suitable teachers. We have major disparities in education in SA and a shocking failure rate. With a combination of Closed circuit TV in a classroom, one would be able to broadcast this lesson to any other classroom anywhere in the world. This kind of instruction is best if it is interactive and there is a competent facilitator available at the receiving classroom. The receiving classroom needs to have a broadband connected computer and projector, as well as VOIP like SKYPE setup. Its all very possible and the cost can be very reasonable.

New technology means you can setup wireless networks up to a maximum of 15km radius, depending on locations. Schools that have "champion" teachers, can seriously look at this as a community development option to help disadvantaged schools.
