Ministry Training

Ministry employees all working on the Internet for the first time. They are doing an Internet scavenger hunt and currently trying to find the exchange rate for the Namibian Dollar against the Euro.

I'm having a blast teaching introduction to internet classes at the Ministry of Education.  I've done two classes so far and have another four scheduled, each with six participants.  The participants are all managers of departments and heads of offices.  You'd think this would make the training formal and somber, but these guys have had a blast laughing and playing throughout the workshop.

Many of the participants have never even used the internet before, even though it's provided free my the ministry.  This is because the ministry does not provide computers.  So unless you're one of the lucky ones, or just have the cash to get your own, you don't get a computer.

Anyway, just thought I'd share that.  It's been strange doing workshops on basic internet skills for office workers on the 9th floor of a very tall building in the middle of a African desert, but hey, it's my job now!
