[kictanet] Laptops for 2014 class 1 entrants - fears

[Crystal Watley Kigoni]

In the US, most primary schools have computer labs and secondary school
students carry laptops. Why? Young children need exposure as early as
possible but a 1 to 1 ratio is overkill. These machines will be obsolete by
the time the class one students reach anywhere near class 5 when more
serious research projects are started. The effort is in the right place,
however there still needs to be more thought into the deployment to
maximize return on investment in terms of human capital.
