As I shared responded to one of our coursemate's inquiry about what I do, I thought I would like to share the URLs to some resources that may interest you and be of use for your works in classrooms:
1) Microsoft Partners in Learning - you will be able to find more infomation on this program, some case studies that are from your countries
2) Microsoft Partners in Learning Network - you will be able to read about some recent activities or events, download some free tools for teaching, connect with innovative educators from different parts of the world and find other useful resources. You will be prompted to sign up for a Live ID. Using this Live ID, you will be able to access information at this network.
3) Microsoft Corporate Citizenship - do check out other interesting corporate citizenship programs in my extended work teams. Do look out for Multipoint technology.. really a low-cost deployment which works very well in emerging markets.
4) MARVIN - we've funded a developer in Australia to develop this animation tool. Very interesting avatars that can be used to build video clip in split seconds. Suitable to deliver content. We've innovative teachers who use it to get young kids master language better through peer coaching and learn about "dry" topics like Confucius in a lively manner.
Additionally, we've used MARVIN and the Silverlight technology to build an interactive curriculum for students with special needs.. it is the accessibility curriculum written by a Japanese professor to help kids with physical disabilities to use computers. Do look out for the link to the CARE curriculum in the Network i've stated in #2 above.

This is really interesting. When we get to designing a piece of curriculum, maybe you can build in the use of Marvin. I would love to see how it could be used in online learning.
