Regarding a pilot OLPC project in South Africa: """ Q: How will the laptop be used in the formal context of the classroom? There's no curriculum. There's no training programme. Teachers will sink or swim. We can show them the e-Toys and other programmes on the laptop, but when we leave, they're on their own. If the goal is to create a nation of scientists and engineers, I don't think we've got 1% of that with this. Mark Shuttleworth with the Kusasa.org programme is tackling that need. We're hoping that workbooks and worksheets will come out of that. He's also putting his money into Python and Smalltalk. """ http://allafrica.com/stories/200706180999.html?page=2
