It’s not a laptop project. It’s an education project.
One Laptop Per Child is a potent learning tool created expressly for the world's poorest children living in the most remote environments. The laptop was designed collaboratively by experts from both academic and industry, bringing to bear both extraordinary talent and many decades of collative field experience in every aspect of this non-profit humanitarian project.
In 2002, MIT Professor Nicholas Negroponte experienced first-hand how connected laptops transformed the lives of children and their families in a remote Cambodian village. A seed was planted: If every child in the world had access to a computer, what potential could be unlocked? What problems could be solved? These questions eventually led to the foundation of One Laptop per Child, and the creation of the XO laptop.
OLPC’s mission is to provide a means for learning, self-expression, and exploration to the nearly two billion children of the developing world with little or no access to education. While children are by nature eager for knowledge, many countries have insufficient resources to devote to education—sometimes less than $20 per year per child (compared to an average of $7,500 in the United States). By giving children their very own connected XO laptop, we are giving them a window to the outside world, access to vast amounts of information, a way to connect with each other, and a springboard into their future. And we’re also helping these countries develop an essential resource—educated, empowered children.

computer class
In my school, the principal had choose a computer program which called Ednoland to teach the 4~6 years old children during computer class. My class has 25 children. During the computer class, the 25 children have to squeeze into a small computer room which is only have 1 computer and no projector. So, the children have sit on the floor and just looking at the monitor which is showing the educational program and listen to the sounds.
Besides that, the computer class is only half an hour per week. Every week, the children and me have to rush. So, the children have the limited time and no chance to practice with the computer.
So, how the children can develop their computer skills?
Actually, i want to respond to the principal. But i don't know how to talk with her. I scared she will angry.
So, what can I do now?
