Digital education in Ghana

By Ute Wiedner At over 70 the teacher trainer Margarete Grimus wrote a doctoral thesis at TU Graz about the integration of mobile learning in sub-Saharan Africa - and infuses much into the teaching situation there. A challenge during retirement. Retirement after 43 years in Austrian teacher training and continuing education? That can't be everything, surely! My life has always been full of exciting tasks. In the late 1980s, when I was 40 and working full time, I enrolled in a university computer science programme because I was simply interested in what a computer was and what it could do. My colleagues at university were practically all male and younger than my son. In those days, computer science was virtually unheard of in teacher training. It took until the turn of the millennium before I was in a position to implement a few so-called information and communication technology (ICT) projects at primary school level together with some creative students and teachers from the College for Teacher Education (Pädagogische Akademie).
