"This book opens a door to the daily experiences of educators, in Mali in particular, with technology. The descriptions of their perspectives and realities are simultaneously intimate and theoretical. I hope the book inspires each reader - on both sides of the Atlantic - to appreciate African creativity, better understand sociocultural change and take the bull by the horns to evolve education for our times." - Oumar Papa Traore, Founder and Director of Yena Issa school in Mali "The research that gave birth to this book reveals ruptures and renovations - in the ways we seek information, interact with each other, and teach and learn. The theoretical basis for understanding these sociocultural, technological and pedagogical changes, and the possibilities that flow from them, is inspired by great African as well as Western thinkers. Technology is perceived not simply as a lever for development but as a formidable tool for the popularization of African personality in the world market of the knowledge economy." - Professor Brehima Tounkara, former Director of Higher Education and Professional Development at the West African Economic and Monetary Union
