      Hi Limey5298

      I would make the podcasts here in the UK as I have the technology. My idea is then that the podcasts could be used via the internet in schools where they do have internet access (some of them do have equipment now). And in schools where they don’t have this type of technology, I would also make MP3 or DVD copies of the podcasts, so that they could play them on TV/DVD equipment – which most schools would have. I was out there in February and the schools that I worked with do have some equipment – what they don’t have are people who can teach them about these subjects.

      I hope that I can make everything in at least ONE format, that even the poorest school can use.
