Name: David Gear
School/Institute: St Stithians College
Position: I teach high school geography and have 20 years experience in using computers in the classroom, including the design and authoring of a key concepts learning package (Superscholar). I have written a series of textbooks (Shuter's Geography) for grades 7-9.
City and Country: Randburg, South Africa
Proposed Project: 1. Guide and monitor the progress of the introduction of IT into schools. This programme will be lead by the staff of Penryn College, with whom I am in close contact.
2. St Stithians College is busy with the introduction of laptop computers at Grade 9 level, so a comparison between the poor rural environment and the well endowed urban environment would be very interesting.
Grade level: 8-12, teacher development
