One Laptop Per Child (for Germany please)

Written by Felix on July 28th, 2008

My daughter has closed her first year at the local primary school. The exposure to new technologies during this first year was 0.0% of all lessons. If you linger along the corridors and across the classrooms of this school you will remember your own primary school days back in the seventies. Nothing has changed (Did you know that? ;-)
Therefore, I admire the “One Laptop Per Child (OLPC)” project by Nicolas Negroponte. It seems that OLPC has done important steps from vision (see e.g. the initial TED presentation) to execution (see e.g. the updated TED video). Nevertheless, what I do miss is an impact assessment: what has the usage of the OLPC really delivered for the children and schools involved?
