This document outlines the stages of a dissertation research project focused on community technology centers in the Dominican Republic. Stage 1 involves preliminary research including establishing relationships with CTCs and conducting interviews. Stage 2 develops a mobile learning project using iPod Touches to create personal learning environments. Stage 3 returns to the Dominican Republic to gather feedback through focus groups and interviews. The goal is to understand how access to information through technology is transforming educational experiences.

Editor's Notes
- #2: What they want varies, they may want to preserve their culture, but by this I mean that to me is not a matter or either… or (computers or health), but that it is sickening to have a person live under less than a dollar a day, while I am driving a car of the latest modelI focus on technology because I believe it transformed the world, whether it is stone age to the bronze age, to swords and gunpowder. Without access to the means of production poverty will continue. So a less than 1% for aid is just not acceptable and it is not treating others as I would like to be treated.
- #3: Wired – Teeny Tiny Transistors - $100 Wafer weighting 128 grams can make 300 billion transistors costing $100,000. They gone from 130 nm thick (2005) to 22 nanometers (2012)
- #7: So their government has invested in some new technologies. In this case they have invested in CTC to try to reduce the lack of access to information and also a place for the community to meet. They have been modified form a version that appealed mainly to investors to one that is locally acceptable.
- #12: I would classify myself as a concerned constructivist.
- #13: From the industrial society, to the knowledge society, to the knowmad so
