OLPC, the $100 laptop

Ethan Zuckerman from World Changing had a chance to talk to Nicholas Negroponte recently about the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project. Ethan’s report sheds some light on this attempt to build a laptop computer cheaply and ruggedly enough for students in developing nations.

The 1-to-1 project in my own school district has shown me the value of “one laptop per child.” I’ll watch this project with great interest.
