Building Sustainability
One of the larger challenges faced by Dominica is ensuring that students and
teachers have the necessary technology resources to learn and teach using
modern learning tools. No doubt Dominican educators and our Alberta teachers
bring the skills, enthusiasm and dedication to bring meaningful learning through
learning technologies. The next challenge, much as occurred in Alberta twenty-
five years ago, is a need to transition toward making learning technologies
accessible for all students.
If you are like me, your first thought might be “impossible!” How can a developing
nation, struggling with financial challenges, afford learning technologies for all
students? Research in both Dominica and Alberta shows that expenditures of 2-
3% of educational budgets will provide all of the needed technologies and
supports. This figure holds true in Alberta school districts and holds true in the
Commonwealth of Dominica.
What is needed is to kick-start the process. If you have an interest in joining us to
help students across the nation develop contemporary learning, we welcome
your support.
