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.
