the challenge
SOME QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER…
-IS DIGITAL EDUCATION REALLY FEASIBLE IN REMOTE LOCATIONS?
- WHAT ASSESSMENT SHOULD BE CONDUCTED PRIOR TO SETUP?
“The journey of a thousand miles… begins with a single step.”
- Lao Tzu, Chinese Philosopher
- WHAT ASSESSMENT SHOULD BE CONDUCTED PRIOR TO SETUP?
-HOW EASILY ACCESSIBLE IS THIS AS AN EDUCATION TOOL?
- WHICH “SYSTEMS” SHOULD BE ESTABLISHED PRIOR TO ONSET?
-HOW CAN REMOTE LOCATIONS ACCESS THE OLPC LEARNING MODULES?
-DOES IT REALLYTAKE A “VILLAGE TO RAISE A CHILD”?
