(image from flickr)(take a look) At what this blog is all about. One lap top per child is a great idea based around an organazation which hopes to one day have all children world wide with a laptop. This idea is basically based around 5 key points. 1). Kids keep laptops 2). Focus on early education 3). No one gets left out 4). Connection to the internet 5). Free to grow and adapt. (more info). "Mission Statement: To create educational opportunities for the world's poorest children by providing each child with a rugged, low-cost, low-power, connected laptop with content and software designed for collaborative, joyful, self-empowered learning. When children have access to this type of tool they get engaged in their own education. They learn, share, create, and collaborate. They become connected to each other, to the world and to a brighter future."
I think this is a great idea although for me personally I feel their are more important issues as far as the children of the world are concerned, but certainly this can help more than it can hurt and i hope this can truly make a difference. I can really see this making a big impact on the world today.
