Tuquito OLPC 2nd Stage
July 19th, 2007
During the first stage of project OLPC, we concentrate us in gettin to the bottom of the matter, knowing the technical and pedagogical details, in summary we were centered in generating documentation and activities (aplicattions) for the famous 100 dollars little machine.
We had many achivments, we edited a book about the project and several educative activities. For the 2nd stage, that has started a week ago, we are going to center in the recolection of information, graphical if possible, with interviews and surveys to teachers, students and people who are in direct relationship with the medium, since we are close to the implementation of pilot tests in Tucumán.
In this 2nd stage tuquito olpc blog, will fulfill an important roll, since that is the place where all type of collected information will be published. So I invite all of you to stay informed trough the blog and to have a protagonic roll by helping us in the organization and planning of the project.
