Abstract:
Plan Ceibal, the education reform initiative that is aiming (most famously) to provide one laptop for every student and teacher in Uruguay, is set, according to project director Miguel Brechner, to achieve 'full deployment' at the primary level by the end of this month, and is now targeting secondary education as well. Brechner's very informative presentation provided insight into the context, scale and ambition behind the initiative, and included some very intriguing preliminary results.
