Chat with Kosal


Bo Kosal is an amazing teacher of English and French that I met last year. He is fluent in both languages.
He lives in Prey Veng. He teaches students who are between 15 and 19 years old. He has a passion for technology. He knows all the little software that make the life of the cyber-cafe Internet users easier. Bo Kosal's blog is at http://sharesource.blogspot.com.

We had a nice chat about what is useful for the Cambodian education - Computers, Internet and English. He liked the videos of the presentation at RUPP, and will translate some of the In Plain English videos of Commons Craft in Khmer using http://www.dotsub.com (a great Web site that permits to add subtitles to videos).

When we talk about free Internet-based software, are they also free for the people of developing countries who do not have Internet access at home but need to go to the cyber cafe? The price of the Internet ($0.5/hour) is a luxury for lots of people. How many people in Cambodia are leaving with less than $1 a day???

Lots of plans with Bo Kosal...
