Hai Ti!
Glossary
Hai Ti Comics will occasionally use words, expressions
and acronyms which may be strange or new to you; either because you're
not familiar with Information and Communication Technologies or because
you're not familar with Namibia, it's culture or its Free and
Open Source (FOSS) movement!
For example, "Cuca Shop",
which features prominently in the launch edition of Hai Ti! mean "Shebeen"
(an Irish word!) -- an
unlicensed house selling alcoholic liquor. (It would be fantastic if someone
would post "Cuca Shop" to Wikipedia,
the free online Ecyclopaedia!)
Hai Ti! is unique in being the first publication of its
kind to be published under international Creative
Commons rules in Namibia!

The latest release of Direq OpenLab version
3.2.8 is an absolute WOW! Especially with the new Wikipedia (meeting
the overwhelming demand for a FOSS digital encyclopaedia), and some fantastic
learner/learning management and examination tools to complement the upgraded
Learnthings and Educational Playground resources (covering core subjects
from grade 1 - 12, in GCSE key stages). The WWW Internet Mathematics Server
(WEMS) is a fantastic interactive resource base, the typing tutor has been
upgraded, the Open Office suite has been upgraded, and both Schoolnet and
EDSNET resource web sites now have icons on the default desktop (The latest
EDSNET resource CD from NIED has also been integrated in this new version).
Cubit Accounting is a FOSS accounting tool which can be used in the classroom
and for school administration purposes. KDevelop provides a rich variety
of programme languages (C++, Pascal, PHP and many more!). The Gutenberg
Project provides several thousand popular copyleft textbook and classic
literature resources in text-printable and html formats. The teacher-oriented
self-guided IT-literacy training modules (EDN) now work without the need
to go on the internet (Certification will be available through University
of Natal, SA early in 2005). There are many, many more resources in this
new release, and the entire package has been made far more intuitive with
the help of some pedagogical moderators locally and abroad. SchoolNet's
website provides an educational portal to a huge variety of educational
tools, games and other resources for teachers and students. SchoolNet ISP
internet clients also have access to Learnthings on line. |
