En la practica casi no importa qué se *podría* instalar en las laptops sino qué *viene* instalado en las laptops.

La otra cuestión es: ¿necesitan los maestros YouTube?
Mi respuesta es: no sé.

Sólo sé que es una de las pocas cosas que he leido que piden.

Creo que no estoy equivocado al resumir que el uso que se les da a las laptops es:

* Los niños navegan y descargan cosas.
* Los maestros piden a los niños hacer actividades con Write y Paint.

(Me gustaría que Logo pudiese cambiar esta situación un poco ya que varios maestros fueron entrenados en el uso de Logo en América Latina, quizá ellos podrían ayudar a resucitar algo de esa cultura)

In practice it doesn't matter much what *could* be installed in the laptops, but what *comes* preinstalled with the laptops.

The other issue is: do teachers need YouTube?

My answer is: I don't know.

I just know that that is one of the few things they have asked for.

I don't think I'm mistaken it summarizing the use of the laptops in this way:

* children surf and download
* Teachers ask students to work with Write and Paint.

(I wish Logo could change this situation a bit because a few teachers were trained in using Logos in Latinamerica, so they could help resurrect some of that culture)

That would indeed be a great addition.
