Will Rogers, American Humorist (1879-1935). 1.0 Background and Objectives. Getting out the vote (GOTV) is a very important activity in an election campaign. Within a typical polling precinct, campaign fieldworkers identify and confirm voters who pledge to vote for their candidate. A list of these voters is carefully compiled for each precinct, with up-to-date contact information and whether assistance is needed in getting voters to the polling station being crucial. On Election Day, campaign workers at the polling stations monitor the voters on the list and record which have voted and which have not. Great effort is then expended on contacting the “laggards” and getting them out to vote. Periodically during the day, voter turnout data is sent, through aggregation points, to campaign HQ where it updates the big picture and allows the co-ordination and refocusing of further GOTV efforts. The purpose of...

...without it. And yet, some still do. It also begs the question that if ever connectivity was lost would it cause the western world to devolve and become 2nd world countries, or even third world. This paper explores the Digital Divide as it is defined today, the areas which are most affected by this divide, and focuses on Africa, and solutions implemented to try to close the gap. The term “Digital Divide” was coined some time in the 1990s, evolving from a number of definitions. One of its earlier definitions was by Woolinksy, defined as the lack of access to computers (Gunkel, 2003). It has since evolved to be known as the social concern that various groups in the world have a lack of access to Information and Communications Technology (ICT). However, it is not just limited to the lack of access. It is also about the socio-economic inequalities that exist within countries, ability, access, gender, ethnicity, culture, age, language, educational level, income and connectivity to the Internet (OECD, 2001 and Economist Intelligence Unit, 2012). Most importantly, it is the divide in the level of skill and proficiency in...

...ITC IT for Change 2008 This case study is part of a research project that sought to analyse how different telecentre models approach development on the ground, proceeding to elaborate a typology based on the cornerstones of participation and equity. To conduct this assessment, four telecentre projects were examined: the Gujarat government’s E-gram project, the corporate-led venture by ITC called e-Choupal, the private enterprise model of Drishtee, and the community-owned telecentres of the M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation (MSSRF). Two main criteria were used in selecting the case studies – the diversity of ownership models, and the requirement of a sufficient scale of the intervention. In addition to the field research conducted in 2008 using qualitative methods, the research also built on secondary sources. A review of the literature in the field of Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICTD) showed that while telecentres are viewed as contributing positively to development in general, they are largely not really seen as a space for catalysing transformative social change. Instead, there remains in the notion of telecentres for development a perpetuation of market-led approaches, wherein telecentres are viewed as a strategic means for expanding markets in rural areas, especially for corporates. In this approach, poor communities are repositioned as an opportunity for business, with ICTs as the most effective way of connecting them to the global market...

A number of schools have been established catering to the youngest generation, such as the Unity School, Khartoum Grammar School and recently Khartoum International Community School. Yet there has been a consistent flow of complaints against these establishments ranging from the ridiculously high fees of some to the low quality of overall education services. Therefore establishing a primary school is a major step forward for the Local Council in taking into account the needs of families with young children and would help stem the flow of these families with young children away from our community abroad. According to projected figures and the experience of other schools, a primary school could be operated profitably after the initial startup period. It would provide a local option for the early childhood education for Khartoum’s growing community of small children...

You may begin by asking the following questions: • Does the software/website offer anything extra that cannot be done in more traditional ways, e.g. with pencil and paper or chalk and talk? • Do you intend to use the software/website for whole-class teaching, e.g. using a computer plus projector and wall screen / interactive whiteboard? • Do you intend to use the software/website in a computer lab, i.e. where each learner works at an individual computer? • How do you intend to integrate the software/website into your teaching? Bear in mind that what you feel about ICT materials is often a question of personal taste.
