New Solomons study puts hard evidence of OLPC's positive impact
,----[ Quote ]
| The OLPC program provides rugged, low-cost,
| connected laptops to children in developing
| countries. The program seeks to encourage
| learning by engaging students in a range of
| educational software undertaken both
| individually and with eachother via the XO
| laptop. The software, called âactivitiesâ in
| the OLPC system, come pre-installed on the
| laptop for immediate use, or they can be
| adapted to suit local needs, or supplemented
| by wholly local content.
| OLPC Oceania is one of three programs carried
| out under the Pacific Plan Digital Strategy
| with the support of the Secretariat of the
| Pacific Community. The Solomon Islands trial
| was also undertaken with the technical and
| resource support of the region-wide
| initiative, âOne Laptop per Pacific Childâ.
