One Laptop Per Child Stumbles Than Regains Footing through "One Education" Program
Posted by: Susan Einhorn
 
As in the United States, technology does not prove to be an educational panacea replacing the importance of teachers and educational material. However, now OLPC proactively bundles laptops with mandatory teacher training that accentuates the merits of technology as another teaching tool that brings new opportunities.
