    Hi Lila today we have great help from entrepeneurs who had developed new apps for almost all devices many for free. There are more and more sources to get info but again we the teachers are the responsible to be chasing the tools and create a more challenging class. Education is still part of the politician's agenda and is still a long way to go on this matter unfortunately on most countries.

    Duolingo, the free, wildly popular language app, is taking its zero-ad, gamification approach to learning into the classroom today, with the launch of a new platform called Duolingo for Schools. Launched in 2012, Duolingo offers reading, listening, speaking and writing exercises split into different lessons ("skills") and levels (if you get a certain number wrong in a given level, you lose a life). Good example of how free app available on line are helping to solve the financial factor on developing countries and improving language learning.

    Here in Argentina federal government launched a popular program to supply all the primary and secondary students with a Netbook. Years later numbers show education has been deteriorating increasingly and the role of the 1:1 model is still an open question. Can chidren take the computer home? How responsible are the students on a free device? Are they using it solely for homework or something else?
