Learning Technologies ..

In my country ( Iraqi Kurdistan Region - North of Iraq) most of schools do not use learning technology because of lack of technology equipments in classrooms. In learning process the only thing used is white board and marker pen. However, some schools, especially in big cities and big towns have computer room which only used in practical courses of computer class, and students have access to use them once a week, or sometimes once in two weeks, because the number of computers are inadequate if compared with number of students in one class which in some schools are more than 50 students in one single room.

Mona Liza of Kurdistan (Kchi Kafrosh)

The drawing is portrait of a very attractive and beautiful Kurdish girl which there is a controversy about that who has drawn this drawing and exactly when, because many Arab, Fars and even European artistes have drawn it during 1930 to 1950s.
