Teaching ICT in Lagos

My recent teaching website is bellseng on googlesites. OK, the school is not exactly in Lagos, it's an hour drive from Ikeja.

I only have one course to teach this semester, and fewer than 100 students. Objectives include brushing up on math for some, open-ended math analysis for some others, and discussions of information and communication technology for most. We'll have fun.
