    PresenceLearning allows students to receive speech therapy services online. Willows is a tiny farming town in Northern California about 20 miles from where I grew up. Imagine my surprise as I read this article and realized that the superintendent they were quoting, Vicki Shadd, was actually my Jr. High School volleyball coach. The real benefit of distance therapeutic services in this instance is the ability to provide services to rural students who would would otherwise be neglected due to the school's location and budget.

    With the explosion of online learning, libraries are changing too. They are not just buildings that house books, but are places that make knowledge accessible long after you leave the premises. Now, libraries offer online learning and tutoring, books and research materials to those who want to take advantage of its servies - the role of our frequest destination, the Gutman library ,certainly corraborates these findings.

      "School life should become more like real life. If school were not such an artificial environment for students -- if they could do the kind of learning that people do outside of the school building in their professions, sometimes in their after-school activities -- if they could connect what they're learning in schools with community issues... you see students beginning to act like scientists, act like writers... That's what we want to see."

  • Feedback so far from early OLPC schools is impressive. Most impressive of all in the first year is Doomadgee State School. In remote, largely indigenous northwest Queensland, Doomadgee has just produced stunning NAPLAN results, boosting their percentage of Year 3 pupils at or above national minimum standards in numeracy from 31 per cent last year to a staggering 95 per cent in 2011. Principal Richard Barrie and his teachers are using plenty of clever and different engagement strategies, but one important tool in the toolbox is the early and strong use of technology via the OLPC Australia
  • Particularly in regard to rural communities, there should be no excuse today for geography to be a barrier to learning. Through connected on-line learning, children anywhere can quickly move from being passive consumers of knowledge (if at all) to an active participant in learning. As well, there is a sense of ownership of the computer, and it is a very real and comparatively cheap method of encouraging school attendance, something I note is a particular and welcome focus in the Northern Territory education system under Chief Minister Paul Henderson
  • A request of $12m has been put to the federal government, with $3m already requested from the Aboriginal benefit accounts, demonstrating the desire within the indigenous community to support real and practical self-empowerment and education programs

  • Most importantly of all, quite simply, OLPC Australia delivers
  • Most importantly of all, quite simply, OLPC Australia delivers . Results in learning from the 5000 students already engaged show impressive improvements in closing the gap generally, and lifting access and participation rates in particular.

    One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) implementation in Australia seems to bring positive results. In remote, largely indigenous northwest Queensland, Doomadgee, 3rd grade students' numeracy improved from 31 per cent last year to a staggering 95 per cent in 2011.
