Open Slate
The goal of the Open Slate Project is to transform the way computers are
used in secondary education. Rather than fencing computers in by making
them a subject to study, computers ought to be fully integrated into the
educational process, as common in classrooms as textbooks and chalk
boards. The key to success is to recognize and use the skills of the
students. The project encompasses self-made slate computers, a
supporting network, and a collection of educational software.
