el fondo del vaso

Y seguimos siendo experimento.

Leo en Gizmodo – ¡no pensé encontrar esto aquí! – un cable noticioso en el cual veo que el Perú será el primer país a nivel mundial en recibir OLPCs que utilizan Windows XP. 

 

Today, José Antonio Chang Escobedo, Peru’s Education Minister, announced the agreement between Microsoft and the One Laptop per Child Association (OLPC). This agreement aims to provide programs such as Windows XP and Office, as well as other educational resources, which will be made available on laptop computers for students. This makes Peru the first country in the world to have XO devices based on Microsoft Windows.

The agreement is part of a nine-month pilot project to integrate educational software, low-cost computing, and technology training into classrooms throughout Peru. This marks a significant milestone as the first Microsoft Windows-based XO deployment in the world, representing the first of ongoing pilots in key markets previously announced by Microsoft and OLPC in May of this year.

Claro, sobre las OLPC hemos hablado largo y tendido. Y como saben, me parece la peor tontería que pueden darle a los niños, porque sin un plan educativo es como regalarle a un niño un PS2 en donde no hay televisión.
