Hello Ana,
The focus of the $90 million ED-LINKS program is improved Teacher Professional Development for the 629,674 teachers in Pakistan. With the launching the ED-LINKS Learning 2.0 Platform next month we will be encouraging teacher-generated content employing interactive and collaborative technologies and are exploring a framework of standards like NETS. In Pakistan, the cost of teacher professional development is 25.5 times the cost of training a secondary school student. So rather than continuing to incur “High Per Capita Cost for Low Grade Teachers” (quote taken from USAID), we intend to record lectures from the top Pakistan teachers for distribution over the Internet resulting in a quality education for millions of students.
Let me know if you have ideas on how we could work together on this.

I wish I had more time. This is the first week of classes and I am a little overwhelmed right now.
