Perfectly put.

Can't say it any better.

That's why, the whole OLPC project needs lots of expertise from academe, and
geeks like people from OLPC PH :-)

As Jerome said eariler, let's encourage people from academe to help provide
learning content. And as developers/programmers, let's focus on providing
the tools this teachers need. That said, I agree with Naz' idea of
Flash-based quiz -- this is where our expertise comes-in. If the teacher
won't be able to follow it, it's our job (more of Naz :-D ) to re-design the
tool and make it user-friendly.

Let's not step on each others foot: Coders make tools, professors make
contents, teachers delivers tools and content to kids.
