 CoSN Report: An Up-Close Look at South American Laptop Programs
A new posting from Lynn Scott (Program Director, edWeb.net)
Just added to our community's web links resource library:
CoSN's Opening Doors with ITC Report, is a good introduction to the giant 
undertakings going on in Uruguay and Argentina, as well as an explanation of the 
motivations behind them, and the political realities that make them possible. A 
central theme is the ability of a more centralized government than our own to 
enact change more swiftly, as well as a cultural perception of laptops and 
Internet connectivity as tools in the war against poverty that goes beyond 
education. The report also includes an overview of Uruguay's Plan Just added to 
our community's Ceibal, the world's first nationwide educational laptop program.
What can we in the US learn from these South American programs to advance 
similar programs here in the States?
