Afghanistan
Hi,
We in Afghanistan are currently piloting the One Laptop Per Child project - focusing quite a lot on use of digital libraries in the school without relying on Internet access and using blended learning to make up for a lack of time in the classroom.
Unfortunately IMO as much as we might like to have infinite resources for our children's education that's not the case, particularly in under developed countries such as here. It is therefor critical that we assess the impact of what we do to ensure maximum returns for children on the resources being provided. I'm quite sure that nothing so quickly and so relatively cheaply can improve education so radically. Hopefully we can verify that more scientifically.
Regards,
-Mike
