Hi Sindile

 

I hope you get a great response. I draw your attention to the OSGeo
edu_discuss list where there might be others who want to respond and
where you might find some material useful to you. Have a look at the
list archives (http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/edu_discuss/) and the
wiki pages
(http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Education_Committee_Work_Program).

 

You might want to use FOSS4G 2008 in some way as a platform to discuss
and develop proposals. We can discuss if you have any thoughts on this. 

 

Gavin

Dear List Members,

With respect to the email that was sent out on the 9th of June 2008
whose content is below, please be advised that the closing date has been
extended to Friday 20th June 2008.  Hoping to get very exciting and
innovative proposals.

All proposal should be sent to this email address: sxjbidla at dla.gov.za

Suitably qualified South African companies or individuals in developing
learning material and GIS are requested to provide a proposal and a
quotation on the development of a manual or workbook in support of the
GIS In Schools programme.

GIS has become part of the geography schools curricula for grades 10 -12
as indicated in the National Curriculum Statement.  Additional
information on the geography curricula (Grades 10 - 12) can be found
from this address http://www.education.gov.za/Curriculum/Curriculum.asp 

Please note that the manual / workbook would need to target:
1. teachers
2. learners
3. access to computers
4. no access to computers

An open source software package will be used (currently we have been
providing training on QGIS). 

Copyright of all work done would either be to the State or under
Creative Commons.

Communication will be with shortlisted companies or individuals and
would be required to provide a demonstration or make a presentation at
their expense.

Please do not hesitate to contact myself for any clarity.

Closing date 16 June 08
