That's a pretty strong assumption, and one that the 1-1 computing community would strongly take issue with. I haven't noticed much good from computer labs, while I have seen quite remarkable results reported from One Laptop Per Child deployments in Peru, Ethiopia, and elsewhere, where the children not only have the use of a computer throughout the school day, but take them home to work on homework jointly over the wireless network, and teach their parents about computers and the Internet. The computer lab strikes us as exactly analogous to a writing lab in which children would have access to paper and pencil for an hour a week. -- Silent Thunder (默雷/धर्ममेघशब्दगर्ज/دھرممیگھشبدگر ج) is my name And Children are my nation.
