The main aspects of Education for All that our group has focused on are: the lack of teachers around the world, mainly Africa, the lack of female education and the impact of HIV/AIDS on teachers and just people around the world. Our group has been very good with looking up all of these subjects and finding out the main problems, what needs to be done and how we can accomplish these goals. I felt, and still feel at times some people in our group were exclusive, and in return I was threatened and exclusive myself. We needed more communication about the homework since sometimes people didn't check their email. Calling eachother would've worked out well. Other than being somewhat exclusive and having a lack in communication, I felt that our group did very well and worked hard to get the job done. We still have tomorrow and the weekend, but everything is going very well so far. Good job, guys!
My group concentrated on the issues of Female Education and the Quality of Teachers which led to the problems of HIV/AIDS and Lack of Teachers. Our group has worked very well to move forward in this project although we had some nights where there was no homework done because of the lack of communication through email and phone. The research for the topics was very easy for the Female Education as there were nearly 21 articles on the topic at just one site. For Lack/Quality of Teachers it was a little bit more difficult because it tended to come up with articles about teachers in the U.S. or if we asked for African teachers it came up with articles about civil rights. We found that that HIV/AIDS a huge contributor to a lot of the problems within Education For All, that the Quality of Teachers was because of the lack of training, and that Female Education was an issue because of Lack of Teachers, untrained teachers and HIV/AIDS; it was one of the broader issues. I think that HIV/AIDS is the basis for a lot of the issues within Education For All along with lack of resources and community support. Female Education is what all the smaller issues build up to and likewise, to a smaller extent the Quality of Teachers is as well.
Our group has focused on Female Education, HIV/AIDS in teachers and students, and the lack of techers around the world and how to fix these problems. Our group worked very well together, but at times I feel like we could have been closer together and made more group decisions. We were very good at finding articles and doing things in class, but communication outsiode of class was defiantly an issue. Everyone needed to check their email more often and we probabaly needed to call each other more often. Personally, with homework I sometimes forgot to upload it to the student file server from my house, and that was an issue.
My opinion on Female Education is that there is little to no support for it in most of the countries around the world. Even in the United States, children more specifically girls are lacking far behind in math and science, and are being beat by China and other countries. HIV/AIDS is one of the biggest factors of lack of teachers, according to one of our articles, more teachers died in Africa last year from HIV/AIDS than were able to be trained. This is a big problem and needs to be addressed. In our project, we solved this problem by teaching the teachers about AIDS and how to prevent it, ans also by teaching the children about AIDS to prevent it.
Overall, our group worked well and I think that we worked well to get the job done.

The main aspects of education for all that our group has focused on are Female education and the lack/quality of teachers. Our group did very well with womens education, and it was an interesting topic to research. I enjoyed reading the articles and I was good at making solutions for problems in women's education. However, we had much more difficulty with some aspects of the quality of teachers. Aspects like the effects of HIV/Aids on teachers was not all that difficult, but obtaining some statistics about the level of education of teachers was hard. This is because every country has different statistics on teacher. The was we solved this problem was we focused mainly on Africa and that was that.
Our group worked well together most of the time, but we did have some problems. For instance, this weekend no one knew who should take home the poster to finish it and it ended up being left at school by accident. Communication was also a problem for our group, and personally i can say that i forgot to check my e-mail more than once. Other than that, the work got done for the most part, and we did a good job working in class. Good job everyone!
I agree with Brett in that we could have been a bit more communicative. I think that calling eachother would have worked well, and even taking time to assign homework in class would have helped. Either way, we got the work done that needed to get done, but it would have helped to know what neede to happen.
That concludes my 3L1t3 post, except for the footnote.
P.S. I'm sorry i diddnt get my first post in before Saturday, ut my internet went offline saturday morning and I couldnt fix it. Thankfully, it fixed itself today on Sunday, so it's all good.
Response to Allie’s comment. I agree. I think we worked well in class although for a few of the days, everyone was scattered throughout middle school working on different things. We never left enough time at the end of class to discuss what people would do for homework which led to 2-3 nights where people didn’t do any work. I also think every aspect of the project was silently divided between us, such as I worked a lot on the PowerPoint, Ian did a lot of the writing and you and Brett did most of the poster board. I don’t think that is a bad thing, except for the fact that everyone’s ideas weren’t included (and I know I did that in the PowerPoint). It also seemed as if the project was divided into two parts; research and art/decoration/final product. I know that was what it was probably supposed to be.
In response to Grace's comment; as I wrote in my comment I also agree that communication was defiantaly lacking in our group. I know I myself as well as all of my group members related directly to this loss in time that we really could of used. As one of the results of this our posterboard was left at school this weekend, causing us to have to rush on Monday to finish our work with gluing things on the poster. In response to the female education/lack of teachers part of it, they don't neccessarily have to relate as male teachers can also be used, and we dont need to focus on just educating the girls as the boys around the world are also facing a huge deficit in performance in schools. I agree with Grace that during our research in Female Education we found the most articles on that topic, 21 to be exact, and I believe that that is because that is one of the only issues that alot of the world is trying to correct. Quality of teachers was the topic on which we found the research, probabaly because no one can really think of any solutions to this problem. We had meant for HIV/AIDS to sort of be a side topic, but we found it to be a direct contributor to most of the topics that our group researched.
