A researcher in my office subscribes to Miller-McCune magazine, whose slogan is "Turning Research into Solutions". After seeing last week's presentation by SJ et al, he handed me an article from the latest issue (September / October 2009, Volume 2, Number 5). | News and Opinions by Timothy Ogden (page 12) | | COMPUTER ERROR? | There appears to be cheaper, more effective ways to improve education in developing nations than the glitzy One Laptop per Child program. The article is available on-line at http://miller-mccune.com/business_economics/computer-error-1390 At the risk of being burned at the stake, though I'm one of the devout, I think the author makes some good arguments that should be either countered POLITELY and/or addressed. -- Ubuntu Linux DC LoCo Washington, DC http://dc.ubuntu-us.org/
