The second meeting of the Working Group on ICT Statistics in Education (WISE) was held from 2 to 4 December 2009 in Montevideo, Uruguay. It was organized by the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) in cooperation with UNESCO’s Office in Montevideo.
There are lots of publicity on # of XO laptops distributed in many countries. There is not much discussion about how those laptops are being used. Also, there are several sites in the U.S. implementing these in some cities in the needs. Overall, I need to spend time to watch how this product evolves to be really useful. As Steve Jobs said, the one I have is a piece of junk. The kids in the photos look very engaged. One truth could be that my understanding of XO is subjective to that of those who appreciate it as the first toy that opens a door to the world. But, not sure what's best for them now that there are so many netbooks.
