You too can Start a new Post

It has been encouraging so far to see the response towards this experiment. Yes, it is still only an experiment until we all agree if we want to continue and come up with some rules to guide the Blog.
Meanwhile, I have attached all our e-mails as Team Members which means that we can all start New Posts, besides making comments on what others have said. Feel free to start a topic of discussion that you think will capture our minds and provoke meaningful discussions.

I have used this photo without getting the consent of all in the photo only during this trial period. If any of you in the photo are not comfortable please let me know. Please do not post photos of people without their consent (I am not a good example!!) Also acknowldege the photgrapher. The two photos used so far were taken by James Oromait.

Welcome from East Africa Commonwealth Scholars

Welcome to the East Africa Emerging Scholars Forum blog. This forum was initiated by the first cohort from East Africa to recieve the Commonwealth Distance Learning Scholarships through the Institute of Education, University of London.
You may wonder - Why the broad name of East Africa Emerging Scholars? The idea is to make this an open rather than a closed blog site. By making it open, we allow many other scholars within the broader East Africa region to participate in the sharing of experiences, discussions, and debates. The blog also provides an opportunity to share career and study opportunities to the mutual benefit of all participants.
In order for you to participate, you will need to open a free Google Account. it will take just a couple of minutes to do so and the account is similar to a normal e-mail account. If you do not have the account, you can still read what others have posted but you cannot make your own contributions through postings.
Take this time to open an account if you do not have one and post you views by clicking "Follow this blog"
