Education for an inclusive cloud Pablo Flores [email_address]

Cloud intelligence… for whom?

About Plan Ceibal and OLPC
CEIBAL: Program of Uruguayan government
Giving 1 computer for every child in school (6 to 11 years). 350.000 laptops.
Work with them on school and at home
WiFi access in schools and public spaces
Using XO computers from OLPC
Other OLPC projects in many countries
(big in Peru, Rwanda and Mongolia)

Needs just to be in the cloud…
Health, alimentation, roof
Home, educational system
Access devices (computers), Internet access

The virtual and the real world Culture Tools

1 st need for active participation: Culture of using of the virtual world
Statistics in Uruguay show:
Parents without external help don’t use Internet.
Why would I have to learn to use it?
In what may this be useful for me?
Children usage is narrowly related to teacher’s interest

2 nd need for active participation: Culture of sharing knowledge
Responsible use
Have good reasons for sharing
Work together
Get support

3 rd need for active participation: Avoid black boxes
Direct and indirect contributions
Example (blogs):
WordPress
PHP
Server config, …
Not bounded to commercial interests

Perspectives
A new way of learning throughout the lifetime
A new roll for teachers  Enhanced
A new roll for family & society  Participate!
Culture change takes time
A tough road ahead
