65k XOs – but will they be connected?
Posted on | May 30, 2008 | No Comments
Colombia, I know, is determined to bring its education system firmly into the 21st century, and it is great to see that the Caldas region of the country is buying 65,000 OLPC XOs. A BBC report quotes Caldas’s Governor Mario Aristizabal, saying that the region was, “…committed to giving each and every child of primary school age the same opportunity to access knowledge as the most privileged children in New York, Berlin or Tokyo.”
I just hope there is provision for connectivity in there too, otherwise the Governor’s commitment will not be realized.
