Well this is an interesting read…. The $100 laptop is a research project by MIT. An interesting idea in order to get laptops in the hands of every student. I would have to ask if this is possible in the near future, but it certainly would open some interesting doors and a great level of debate amongst educators. While cost is often the reason schools give for not implementing laptop programs, I personally don’t think bringing the cost down will convince everyone. There are many educational issues to be addressed before thinking that the $100 laptop will improve learning. Teacher PD perhaps?!?!?!

Hi Brett,
Just wanted to let you know that a Directory of australian Edubloggers has been set up at http://australianedubloggers.pbwiki.com/ (password: edubloggers) . Go over and have a look and leave your details if you want. It’d be great to have a place where we can all be together in cyberspace to learn from each other as well as being part of the wider edublogging community.
cheers
Jo
Thanks for that Jo…. I have added my details up there.
