To create educational opportunities for the world's poorest children, the “One Laptop Per Child” initiative provides each child with a rugged, low-cost, low-power, connected laptop with content and software designed for collaborative, joyful, self-empowered learning. When children have access to this type of tool they get engaged in their own education. They learn, share, create, and collaborate. They become connected to each other, to the world and to a brighter future. Go to the website: http://laptop.org/en/ and watch the video by clicking on the number 1“Vision” link. Why do you think the five principles are so important to the program and to the education of children throughout the world? Speculate on what you think the long range benefits of this program will be?
