10) Open Source software critical to high quality education ? education has
to be very customised, to the kids, the teacher, the environment and the

This framework should allow for basic functionalities such as tracking
student progress, dynamically adapting exercises to a student's capabilities
and things like the basics of Maths exercises or a typing tutor to be taken
care of. These basic building blocks can then be shared across the globe

Mmm, I still would argue that now in some cases - especially when
relevant changes end up being quite significant - it might be easier to

Hola Alejandro,
I'm currently not aware of any other OLPC or Sugar projects working with
children at that age. Most pilots and deployments currently seem to be

What kind of educational activities did you have in mind?
