[Educators] Any reports / conclusions available ?

[Seth Woodworth]

On second thought this is a report from Ethiopia, which was running a build
in the 400's, and we're currently in the 700's of our software to give you
an idea of progress.  Further more it appears that Eduvision has published
this report in attempt to get funding to do their own trial, so while they
have some legitimate concerns about our system, their comments must be taken
with a grain of salt.

They want to integrate the standard Ethiopian rote learning styles with the
constructionist theories of the XO... ok, if they must I suppose.

So I have to say that probably not, no.  There haven't been any reports or
tangible results from pilots, only anecdotal.

The important question is: what are we going to do about it?
