> Interesting reading your perspectives on the laptop for class one pupils. I am attending the eLearning Africa 2013 conference and talking to a number of experts who have research on this topic and soliciting their thoughts on how to roll out the project,
I am also following discussions on experiences from other developing countries on similar initiatives. Some of the things that I am realizing are the following:<br>
><br>
> <br>
><br>
> 1. Not every child needs to get a personal device. A number of devices could be provided to every school, possibly a lab type of environment or resource centre. Simple access/exposure to the technology to the students will have transformational results.<br>
><br>
> <br>
><br>
> 2. The choice of device(s) is also very important. A laptop or tablet choice has merits and demerits. More so a tablet maybe useful in the early stages class 1-3 but higher than this a device with a keyboard is necessary. Also electricity requirements of
the devices could be a consideration. Readers are also useful but for a different purpose.<br>
><br>
> <br>
><br>
> 3. Minimal supervision of the students is an important catalyst. Therefore we may not have to focus so much on the teacher training aspect. If we do we will get stuck. The availability of the devices should not cause a planned disruption of the status quo
(teaching methods of teachers) let it happen. The children will learn to use the technology and apply it to their learning when they see the opportunity presents itself. Similarly teachers will make use of the technology when they opportunity presents itself
and when they become comfortable with the technology. There are many massive failures when deliberate efforts are made to incorporate the technology into the curriculum and/or modify the curriculum to incorporate the technology.<br>

for curriculum content etc etc) and to learn from the very many schoolnet programs in Kenya and Africa. For example, IDRC funded schoolnets in Africa (including in Kenya) for over 10 years, these lessons are well documented. E.g. an external evaluation of
Computer’s for schools Kenya program of providing computers to schools is quite instructive and worth reading at
