It doesn't necessary add up to 100%, but ...

If we're already counting percentages, it's my guess that yet another 15% came to these courses out of the same specific need: a son or daughter in Thailand (or Australia, or South America, or ...) with whom they wanted to maintain e-mail contact. The main emphasis of these courses was integrating the use of the internet into the educational work of the teacher, but of course in order to be able to do that it was first necessary to learn the basic skills, and integrate their use into the daily life of the teacher. And it turned out that for many of those teachers who wanted to learn these skills the most pressing reason for doing so was that child in Thailand. And of course not surprisingly, it worked. Those teachers who had someone to whom they wanted to send e-mail caught on to using it more quickly than those for whom the exercises I prepared for them was their only exposure to using e-mail throughout the week.
