Tanzania Uses Wall Murals For Sex Education

Little is considered taboo in the colorful new ads, which depict everything from general condom use and masturbation to more severe topics like teen pregnancy and female genital mutilation. While the murals may often be done in a tongue-in-cheek manner, Tanzania's statistics are considerably less so. The current HIV rate hovers at about 6 percent, while 40 percent of 18-year-old girls are already mothers or currently pregnant.

Officials say the occasionally racy murals are already proving effective, and many local schools are opting to follow suit with their own sex ed walls. "If you use a photograph, people don't identify with the person," said Alex Ngaiza, HIV program manager at the health communication organization PSI. "But with a mural, everyone can relate."

New Web Site for Teachers: Software, Classroom Management, and Learning Resources for Educators

The launch of a new educational resource web site, http://www.TechForEducators.com, offers teachers an exclusive line of software, learning aids, classroom management, and technology to make the task of teaching easier, and more enjoyable for students and teachers alike.

The site features software to simplify test making and grading, as well as learning many subjects from elementary to the high school level. There are also many inexpensive software programs designed for individual use by children at school or at home covering subjects like art, math, language arts, and music.

Teachers love the high-tech classroom management tools offered on the site. These include such things as the “Attention Getter,” a unique stop watch, the “Yacker Tracker” that signals when sound levels in a classroom get to loud, and other exciting and innovative devices that help teachers manage their classrooms.

The site also offers a variety of unique calculators and microscopes that use technology to simplify the learning process and make learning fun for students of all ages. The company carries quality products at competitive prices, all with a money-back guarantee.

“TechForEducators.com provides many tools which can improve the performance of educators. But what sets us apart is that we'll be making significant investments in solving a major problem for K-12 education: impoverished students who come to class without access to basic school supplies,” explained the site founder Matt Spergel.

TechForEducators.com is donating a portion of all sales to the Kids In Need Foundation. Through their partnership with the Kids In Need Foundation, TechForEducators.com is able to assist less fortunate children who need help to obtain a higher quality education. For every $1 a customer spends at TechForEducators.com, the Kids in Need Foundation is able to turn that into $1.25 worth of free school supplies which they provide to students in need.

“Kids In Need is very appreciative that TechForEducators.com is partnering with us in our mission to provide school supplies for children most in need. With this agreement, TechForEducators.com is telling their customers that helping children experience success in the classroom is important to them,” said David Smith, executive director of the Kids In Need Foundation.
