[ED-TECH] FW: Take a tour of the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus in Miami

This is an interesting tour.  They had it at a conference I attended and people were able to go into the studio and record themselves playing instruments and making royalty free sound loops.  If you have a chance to go, I highly recommend it.

[ED-TECH] Gender Equality for Human Development

For your consideration:

*Mother Pelican - A Journal of Sustainable Human Development*
Volume 7, Number 4, April 2011
Gender Equality for Human Development
http://www.pelicanweb.org/solisustv07n03page1.html

Gender equality is essential for integral human development. The
objective of this special issue on "gender equality for human
development" is to provide a snapshot of where we are along the path of
overcoming the patriarchal system and attaining gender equality. Some
progress has been made, and there can be no doubt that the process
toward gender equality is irreversible. But it would not be helpful to
foster false hopes of reaching the goal in the near future. Hopefully,
this issue of *Mother Pelican* can be a source of encouragement for the
long journey ahead.

Please forward this notice to friends and colleagues who might be
interested. Submission of research papers on sustainable human
development is cordially invited.

Sincerely,
Luis

hacia superar el sistema patriarcal y lograr la igualdad de género. Algo
