Reaching out to schools outside of Bangkok


I can now proudly announce that I have the language program running in all 11 of the Mercy Centre funded kindergarten schools in the Klong Toei area.

Next steps...

To deliver the same, quality program to the 12 Mercy Centre funded kindergarten schools outside of Bangkok. Unfortunately, they are all around one hour away from Bangkok so the current system of getting volunteers residing in Bangkok out to the schools will not work.
I have enough text books and workbooks for the children out in these schools but how we deliver the lessons is the problem. (Curriculum details) I have been thinking about using some kind of video conferencing system.

What I need:
  • Advice from educators out there who have used any kind of video system to deliver lessons. What went well? Are there any other options that keep lessons interactive, and can deliver the curriculum I have in mind?
  • Any ideas for simple and free operating systems that could support this kind of thing?
  • I need hardware. Are there any companies out there ready to 'refresh' their computer hardware and donate them to a worthy cause in the Bangkok area?
If anyone can help with any of this, any advice is greatly accepted, please email me or add a comment to this post.
Many thanks,
Alf
