I agree with Mary!  These students in Africa, Asia, Europe..whereever are
just subscribers waiting to be tapped.  Let's hear it for the
entrepreneurial genius that thought is up.

Hi all,

 

When all my USA kids have one laptop per child, then I will not ask why we
are so interested in providing so many countries with so many resources and
money.  Areas of our country are not as affluent as other areas of the
country.  Look at our education woes.  I have already asked this of this
organization.  Long Live the USA and don't give all my hard earned dollars
away when we need those dollars in the USA.

Last week was spring break and we were traveling.  Consequently, I did not
check my email for 3 or 4 days.  This morning, I opened it and went through
my Calib Postings.  It was a good way to get back to work to see the
information and ideas shared.  I know I should be more specific but I don't
want to leave anyone out.  I appreciate all your postings.

 

This brief story about the One Laptop per Child Foundation has some
interesting ideas about the uses of computer in classes such as students
working together.
