One Laptop per Child

There are many different organizations out there that are promoting students to have their personal laptop for use in the classroom and at home. One Laptop per Child is just one organization that is trying to provide students in developing countries with laptops. With laptops that come equipped with content and software designed for collaborative and self-empowered learning, students become engaged in their education and with one another. One Laptop per Child is not only thinking about the student's educational life but also their financial life. They have created a laptop called the XO that is low in cost and extremely durable. It contains special features such as a readable screen under direct sunlight for those students who attend school outdoors. Check out this video about the XO Laptop....



I believe as future educators we need to support organizations such as One Laptop per Child because you never know where you are going to teach and the resources that are going to be available to you and your students.
