| What Florida Schools Can Learn From One Laptop Per Child |
| Posted by: Susan Einhorn |
| It’s family literacy night at Holmes Elementary School in Liberty City, and first grader Adam Redding is reading a poem about plants while he absentmindedly tips dirt out of a plastic cup and onto a laptop. In this classroom, dirt on a keyboard is okay. The green and white computer is a rugged little machine from One Laptop Per Child, the organization best known for trying to put an inexpensive computer into the hands of every child in the developing world. Adam’s cup of dirt is part of a lesson plan that involves researching plants on the laptop, reading a poem and seeding a corn kernel in a cup. Welcome to the one-to-one classroom. One computer for every student. |
