Dear all,

Attached is a 1991 article I've just read.  It's by Jo Anne Kleifgen
from Columbia's Teachers College.  It's about a pilot study of
"Haitian chidren and computers" at a public school in Harlem
in the late 1980s.

Though the study is somewhat dated and quite limited in scope,
with a different social context (Harlem in the 80s), it offers some
educational insights that seem relevant to the OLPC pre-pilot that's
now taking place in Port-au-Prince.

I hope it's helpful.

                                 -michel.
