OLPCs, Uruguay and Educational Value
My recent blog post on Uruguay’s Plan Ceibal generated a buzz of discussion over at OLPCNews on the value of measurement, test scores, and updates from the field on 1:1 laptop projects visibly impacting test scores (https://www.gse.uci.edu/person/warschauer_m/docs/netbooks-aera2010.pdf#netbooks). Are these soft measures of attendance and laptop usage good enough, or must we demand test score improvements?
