He is particularly looking for examples outside of Britain. It could be an opportunity to highlight innovative schools in mobile and 1:1 learning. Do and of you have any particular recommendations that we could pass to the journalist? If so, could you please mail the suggestions to Ian Pearshouse in the LSRI: Ian.Pearshouse at nottingham.ac.uk Mike ------------- Mike Sharples Professor of Learning Sciences Director, Learning Sciences Research Institute University of Nottingham Exchange Building Jubilee Campus Wollaton Road Nottingham NG8 1BB UK Email: mike.sharples at nottingham.ac.uk Tel: 0115 9513716 URL: www.nottingham.ac.uk/lsri/msh Deputy Scientific Manager, Kaleidoscope Network www.noe-kaleidoscope.org Co-Chair ALT-C 2007 Conference, Nottingham, Sept. 4-6 This message has been checked for viruses but the contents of an attachment may still contain software viruses, which could damage your computer system: you are advised to perform your own checks.

A very intelligent and balanced review. Generally positive, but with some serious criticism. - Yishay http://www.freedom-to-tinker.com/?p=1187 One Laptop Per Child, Reviewed by 12-Year-Old August 10th, 2007 by SG *[I recently got my hands on one of the One Laptop Per Childmachines. I found the perfect person to review the machine. Today's guest blogger, SG, is twelve years old and is the child of a close friend. I lent the laptop to SG and asked SG to write a review, which appears here just as SG wrote it, without any editing. ?Ed]* -- ___________________________ Yishay Mor, Researcher, London Knowledge Lab http://www.lkl.ac.uk/people/mor.html http://yishaym.wordpress.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/yishaymor http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=yishaym%40gmail.com +44-20-78378888 x5737 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
