Eugenio Severin from the IADB sends a heads up. Remember that the
IADB is a major player in terms of making ICT4E available in the
Americas, and has already spent several million USD in research, and
if my memory fails me not, bore a lot of the expense for the Haiti
and Peru deployments.<br>

<div><font color="#444444" size="2">One-to-One laptop programs
for children are gaining exceptional traction in Latin
American and Caribbean countries; to date, nearly 2 million
laptops have been distributed to children in the region for
educational purposes.<br>
<br>
As a way of reflecting on the laptop programs that have been
implemented thus far and aiding future program designs, we
have written a new report on the subject, One-to-One Laptop
Programs in Latin America and the Caribbean: Panorama and
Perspectives.<br>
<br>
In this report you will find:</font></div>

<li style="margin-top: 5pt; margin-bottom: 3pt;">An overview
of existing definitions, rationales, and desired impacts
of One-to-One programs</li>
<li style="margin-top: 5pt; margin-bottom: 3pt;">A review of
existing One-to-One programs in Latin America and the
Caribbean, with a focus on projects with IDB involvement</li>
<li style="margin-top: 5pt; margin-bottom: 3pt;">A new
approach to One-to-One models that places more emphasis on
each student’s learning experience and less emphasis on
technology. Here, we propose a systemic approach to
One-to-One that simultaneously considers
infrastructure, content, training, community involvement,
and policy. We also provide an estimate of the total cost
of ownership (TCO) of One-to-One initiatives and
information on the monitoring and evaluation of One-to-One
programs.</li>

It is our hope that this work contributes to the growing
body of knowledge surrounding educational technology
initiatives in the region. </font></div>
