Σας στέλνω ενδιαφέρον άρθρο για την συζήτηση που έχει ανοίξει με αφορμή το άρθρο( Seeing No Progress, Some Schools Drop Laptops- http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/04/education/04laptop.html?_r=2&oref=slogin&oref=slogin ) και την απάντηση ( http://www.olpcnews.com/commentary/press/new_york_times_schools_laptop.html ). Τα θέματα αυτά θα πρεπει να μας απασχολούν και θα μας βοηθούσε όλους εάν οι εκπαιδευτικοί μέλη της ομάδας κατάθεταν τις απόψεις τους, εάν υπάρχει ενδιαφέρον μπορούμε να ανοίξουμε ένα blog που θα ασχολείται με την εκπαιδευτική αξιοποίηση του OLPC στο Ελληνικό εκπαιδευτικό σύστημα.
