We have been attempting to expand instructional opportunities for Liberian teachers by helping them learn how to effectively use instructional audio-visual materials. The problem is reliable and steady access to electricity. If the solar bag battery is powerful enough to run one of the new, small, portable projectors (the size of about four or five stacked CD cases) that can project files (pics and video) directly from a memory stick, it could be a wonderful teaching tool. A self-contained unit that could serve to store, carry and power the projector, memory stick files and lesson plans, all in one unit! Memory sticks allow for hundreds of portable video lessons and the projector allows for large group viewing with one small unit. What a great teaching tool! It can be used in a formal classroom, on the shady side of a building wall, or any number of other less formal instructional spots! Please keep updating on the Flap Bag - a most exciting item!
