Internet and Email excites curiosity in Quetta college

April 27, 2001

SDNP conducted an intensive and interactive training workshop for twenty participants from the faculty and students of Govt Girls College Jinnah Town, Quetta on 27th April 2001 in their well-equipped computer laboratory.

An overview of IUCN's activities, SDNP's infomediary role and capacity-building initiatives was presented by SDNP Quetta's City Coordinator, Mr. Jan Mohammad. The participants were then briefed about the basic usage, background, structure, and mechanics of Internet and email by Ms. Zarin Syed.

They took keen interest in the basics of the Internet's browsing techniques and the logic behind online connectivity. During the hands-on session, the participants were thrilled when they visited various sites like Dawn, Jang, Allah.com, Gwadar's and Balochistan's websites; jobs vacancies and learned how to constructively channelize the potential of popular search engines. The resource personnel then answered their queries.

The Principal of the college thanked SDNP-IUCN for introducing new computer technology to the participants. She also requested SDNP to include two of their teachers in their basic web authoring training in order to develop their own college's website.
