The BBC reports exceptional success by some NGOs introducing tablets
in rural (central) Africa amongst children. But the price is wrong.
Scrappy, perfectly adequate, if antiquated, computer equipment
discarded in the West and even locally, by urban residents and
organisations, on the other hand, is much more affordable.
Electricity is an issue, but the cost of PV panels and inverters is
dropping.
Please continue with suggestions, I have a few weeks to get started
and there may well be many ideas I have not considered (MIT Scratch is
one such idea Charles already mentioned) and may make all the
difference. Maybe in private mail?
Also, I have never seen any educational games for the PS2 (I bought
one a while back as an experiment). I would have thought it would be
something worthwhile, maybe I'm too far from the mainstream to have
come across such games?
