I have two questions for David Leeming, based on this conversation. Thank you for offering to answer, David.
1. From Leigh's experience, it looks like OLPC laptops take an onsite specialist (or specific detailed instructions) to "get", even (or especially?) for people with computer background. One can't just start using them, given previous computer experiences. Is it so? 2. In your opinion, are these laptops appropriate tools for wiki work, as exemplified by that 40-person workshop, in the light of the fact "they aren't really computers"? -- Cheers, MariaD Make math your own, to make your own math. naturalmath.com: a sketch of a social math site groups.google.com/group/naturalmath: a mailing list about math maker activities groups.google.com/group/multiplicationstudy the family multiplication study --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WikiEducator" group.
