Open Laptop Per Child, some thoughts...

http://www.worldchanging.com/archives/004543.html

There's a sea-change about how we think about computers in schools in here someplace even in places where these aren't actually going to be deployed (like the United States)...

Some of it's going on, on the web already (freeform colaborative environments) but that stuff just get's filtered at the borders of schools. Lab machines and classroom machines get locked down and run obsolete proprietery software. So computers in schools aren't really the source of inovation and potentially new pedagogy that they once were, they're just a requirement for the educational process.
