“Critical Thinking for Teachers” is a series of interactive radio programs and podcasts for teachers in rural areas of OAS member states. These audio programs strengthen teachers’ ability to teach critical thinking skills in mathematics, literacy, science, and citizenship education. Woven into an entertaining drama series, the participatory lessons feature short pauses that allow teachers to respond to questions, partake in group discussions, write plans for their classes, and more. Participants learn practical skills to apply in the classroom immediately. The primary audience is teachers with little Internet access who teach 11- to 14-year-olds, but any teacher can benefit and anyone can participate.

I am sorry to hear of this situation colleagues.
We have to be careful when opening any suspicious email. Yes it can be misunderstood for authentic mail but the name must be double checked before responding. This is a good lesson for us all.
At the same time Daniel needs to have the email checked as there may be a compromise in the room. We must all remember to sign out when leaving the room. Daniel please request that all emails forwarded and copied to our mails be stopped please. Every time someone writes we get a copy of the email and this can help compromise our emails allowing whoever is trying, to enter our systems.
Hey Shonella:
I am sorry to hear that. There are so many predators out there. I am not sure though that someone can be blocked from sending you email but maybe if you set the mail as spam it will go straight to junk mail and you will not have to deal with it. Hope this helps!
All the best

Hi everyone:
I am attaching a copy of my Lesson plan. It is for a Form five (Grade 11) class. I welcome your constructive criticism!

Can anyone tell me how can I block this person from my email? Thanks in advance.

OMG Daniel,
this is crazy. This individual sent me a mail stating he saw my profile and would like to discuss something about it. I thought at first that it was you. Also he gave his email to email him as I can. So I am thinking that it has to do with my Lesson plan and responded only to get an email with one long request which I cannot share here, but can forward to OAS if needs to. Then I thought that something is amidst after reading the contents of his second email to me. Hence I notified you immediately as this second email is very questioning.
Thank you.
Wow! This person is a real nuisance and it would seem he was trying to tackle females. I also got an email but did not respond as I was immediately alarmed and suspicious based on the contents of the message.
This shows the need to remain vigilant not only where social media is concerned but in all aspects of our lives as well.
I am however comforted that OAS/ITEN was able to intercept and deal swiftly with what could have been potentially dangerous.
Regards
Macian
Dear Evelyn,
Thank you for also alerting us to the situation.
Let me first assure you that ITEN fully understands your concerns, is committed to addressing this particular instance of violation of the terms of use, and is committed to maintaining a safe community.
The community is constructed such that email addresses are not public information, and ITEN does not share this information. Am I to understand from your message that this individual has somehow obtained your email address? If that is the case, we will need to follow up with you offline.
Further, ITEN has removed all messages from this individual which it has discovered. If you still see the offending message or messages, please log out and log back in. If an offending message or messages remain in your inbox, please notify us immediately so that we can remove them and further investigate.
We will carefully monitor attempted registrations, aware that this individual may attempt to re-enter the community with altered profile information.
Again, ITEN is committed to resolving this situation and ensuring that its community is safe. We deeply regret the stress and concern that has been caused despite our efforts to prevent this kind of misuse.
Warm regards,
Dan
