	Mobile Technology in Global Politics For developed and developing countries alike, the Internet and mobile technology are changing the way the public relates to the political elite. On the small screen, we receive information about political events, we donate money to campaigns and we can even find information that the government may not want us to know.

	Public Health: Introduction to mhealth Initiatives in Africa Africa is the world's second-largest and second-most-populous continent. The continent covers six percent of the Earth’s total surface area and 20.4 percent of the total land area. It has about 30.2 million km² (11.7 million sq mi) including adjacent islands, accommodating 1.0 billion people it accounts for about 15% of the world's human population. Healthcare reach which is an ever growing concern in this region especially due to the hostile terrains and limited accessibility in some of the countries in this continent, Africa is up for a great transformation given the leaps in technology. According to the Africa Media Initiative, the number of mobile phones in Africa stands at 650 million (from a mere 4 million in the late 1990s) and is set to reach the 1 billion bar in less than 5 years. Africa is now considered to be the largest market for mobile technology in the world. Key Topics: EpiSurveyor Mobile Midwife ChildCount mHealth HIV projects Best Practices for mHealth >
	Education in Development Discussion about the use of technology in education will remain absolutely useless without considering the pedagogical approaches appropriate in different settings. What kind of technology will be used can widely vary depending on exactly where a particular approach stands between two extremes – traditional institutional on one side and highly individualist on the other side. While researching existing projects and initiatives on ICT integration in education, the project team has found that both individual and institutional approaches were used in different degrees. Introduction Key Topics: Institutional Approaches Case #1: English in Action: BBC Media in Bangladesh Case #2: Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) and EDC T4 in India Case #3: StreetGriot Media Education for Israel/Palestine Case #4: ACE Project in Kenya Case #5: ICT EQEP in Indonesia Individual Approaches: Case #6: Reading Tutor in Accra, Ghana and Mongu, Zambia Case #7: One Laptop Per Child in Ghana Case #8: Gyan Vani and DD-Gyan Darshan in India Case #9: Pakistani Sesame Street Integrated Approaches: Case #10: Integrated Approaches in China Conclusion
