Nicholas Negroponte’s open letter about India’s $35 tablet device for education

Posted on 19 August 2010 by jrobes

Indiens Bildungsminister Kapil Sibal plant einen 35 Dollar Tablet-PC für Schüler und Studenten und Nicholas Negroponte hat diese Ankündigung zum Anlass genommen, seine Erfahrungen aus dem One-Laptop-Per-Child-Projekt in einem offenen Brief weiterzugeben. Hier ein Auszug:

“Tablets are indeed the future. OLPC announced its own eight months ago. However, caution is needed with regard to one aspect of tablets: learning is not media consumption. It is about making things. The iPad is a consumptive tool by design. OLPC urges that you not make this mistake.”
