[OLPC-Philippines] Other netbooks for education

[James Shields]

Doesn't matter what tech we use ... it's the content that counts.

OLPC Philippines was formed, I presume, to use the XO.  So, content on the
XO is what counts in this case.

  Hello All

  I think that people should decide what kind of hardware to buy depending
on specific needs, but the real problem, and i think is the problem we have
to focus in is ''education''
  how to really impact  and make a better education trough the use of
technology?

    Not only Netbooks but any computer that can run Fedora 11 can benefit
    from having Sugar as the learning environment.

    There are already some tests done with SoaS to run on various machines
    as well. I'm not aware of any ARM based machines running Sugar though.
