Hi, Dave<br>
<br>
Everything possible.<br>
<br>
For a simple example. If Uruguay is allowing learners to take
laptops home; how is charging handled? In Rwanda, we discovered that
<br>
few homes had electricity. This would mean laptops taken home would
be returned with empty batteries. The school is set up to charge the
<br>
laptops in charging racks. Charging them in class time would mean
running power strips all over the floor of the classroom potentially
endangering students and the laptops (dragged to the floor). In
Nepal, wear and tear on the XOs proved too expensive so laptops now
stay in the school. After school opportunities are a good
alternative, except in many schools students walk several miles to
and from school. This means they can not stay back for after school
activities. In schools with two shifts there would lots of time for
'before' or 'after' school activities. However, the schools do not
have classroom space beyond for the active classes.<br>
<br>
Every deployment I have encountered is different, information about
them would be invaluable and would give us an opportunity to provide
more effective support. I think the first priority is to find the
deployments and identify a contact who could provide us with good
current information.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

What information do you think we should find out?
