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 Open this book and you open a door to the daily experiences of educators, in Mali in particular, with technology.

Pedagogic principles are thus driven more by teachers than by technology. On this account the book is timely, in reminding West African educators of the significance of their role in the pedagogical appropriation of technology for quality teaching and learning that addresses African epistemologies, thought processes and cultural actions. - Dr. Therese Mungah Shalo Tchombe, Emeritus Professor and Honorary Dean, UNESCO Chair for Special Needs Education, Faculty of Education, University of Buea The author shows how educators, in pedagogically appropriating technology, adopt a more organic than mechanical approach.

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. - Prof. Brehima Tounkara, former Director of Higher Education and Professional Development at the West African Economic and Monetary Union 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.
