keno aguiar on 10 Apr 12This article is about a group called One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) who donated two million five hundred thousand laptops to schools in Africa. They found out that laptops does not help improve test results in math and english for these children. Even though the laptops were stored with two-hundred books and reading/writing lessons, the kids did not score more then others on tests. this relates to our class because we use laptops for our classes.

jonathan molloy on 10 Apr 12This is extremely interesting to me because it shows that although technology is a great thing, it does not do the work for you. it shows that 2.5million computers where given to people in Africa and their test scores did not improve that drastically. this shows that if people want to learn they will, if they dont, they will not. this relates to our class because we use computers daily
