[WSIS CS-Plenary] Fwd: Panel Discussion on "Gender, ICT and Education: Removing ld Barriers with New Technologies" on 1-13-05 at the UN from 1:15 to 2:45 pm

[mclauglm at po.muohio.edu]

Is there a typo in respect to the date, which indicates January of 
2005? And, are they really trying to remove "ID barriers"? Also, on 
another note, I'd suggest that they re-title this to "Gender, ICT, 
and Training," which is what most of the persons affiliated with this 
panel are actually talking about, the progressive instrumentalism of 
vocational education.

Regards,
Lisa
