The document discusses using smart phones to distribute low-cost, high-quality educational content through community technology centers in the Dominican Republic. It outlines a plan to provide small loans for community members to trade in basic phones for smart phones for educational purposes. The smart phones would allow access to educational content and courses through the community technology centers using subsidized or free data plans. The document compares ICT indicators and literacy rates in the Dominican Republic to regional averages.

Mobile has exploded on to the scene this year. Not surprising since there are 284 million phones for 310 million people in the U.S. Add to that 17 million tablets were sold in 2010. But what do people really want from these portable devices? How do we create an experience that delights them enough to gain brand loyalty in the competitive travel industry? Hugh Jedwill, CEO of Mobile Anthem, uses his background in brand marketing to describe mobile behaviors and discuss how to use them to create a compelling product that will create loyalty and drive business.

Educación Movil y TICS Para El Desarrollo (ICT4D) - Proyecto PilotoAlfonso Sintjago
Esta presentación explica un proyecto piloto en la República Dominicana donde 6 dispositivos móviles, cada uno con 12.5 gigabytes de información educativa abierta (REA) fueron entregados a varios administradores para crear Entornos Personalizados De Aprendizaje. Los participantes fueron parte de un curso de 16 semanas en los cuales crearon recursos y utilizaron los dispositivos en formas innovativas. Una de las metas del proyecto era ver como podemos utilizar los dispositivos móviles inteligentes de bajo costo mas eficientemente. Los dispositivos utilizados costaron solo $60 por persona mas $15 por SD card.

Augmented Reality and Education - Infographic (Leapfrog Initiatives)Alfonso Sintjago
Augmented reality (AR) technology is the result of using convergence technology to greatly expand our functional reality, i.e. that which is in our expanded environment, that we know about, and that we are able to act on. The technologies making this possible include, smartphones, GPS, phone cameras, always-on and always-available data networks, etc. A crude, but widespread, example of AR technology is Google Maps. Google Maps makes it possible for us to know about places of interest that are in our environment, or an environment relevant to us, far beyond that which our biological senses can reveal. Other examples include the services provided by apps such as Layars and Wikitude that provide detailed data on objects that we experience, Google’s recently released AR game, Ingress, among many other projects. AR is likely to be one of the most transformative technological developments that we will see over the next decade because it radically changes the world that we live in, how we perceive that world, and how we interact with it and other individuals in it. With affordable HUD displays (ex. Google Glass) this technology will take on a whole other dimension.
Robotics and Education - Infographic (Leapfrog Initiatives)Alfonso Sintjago
Robotics have reached a level of sophistication that it is wholly reasonable to start seeing them in a range of environments where they will interact with humans. The classroom is no exception. In fact, remote controlled robots have already been introduced in classrooms in South Korea and Japan. In South Korea robots are used in primary school classrooms to teach English (Learn more about EngKey). Some of these educational robots are remote controlled by teachers operating out of the Philippine Islands. In Japan, there are known instances where teachers have used remote controlled robots to teach courses in classrooms far away from where they live (E.g. Hiroshi Ishiguro). There are a range of tasks that robots can take over in classrooms, ranging from classroom management to engaging students. With the development of other related technologies, such as artificial intelligence, robots can conceivably even become involved in instruction itself.

• They will be required to explain what educational

phone for.
• Agreement with telecommunication companies
to allow their use without data plan or subsidized

11. Factor Technology Assessment: Smart Phones
Merges a desktop or laptop computer with the conveniences of an older
Relative mobile phone (“dumb” or “feature” phone). Mobile phones allowed
Advantage countries to leapfrog the infrastructure development requirements of
landline phones.
Mobiles phone can be considered the most widely adopted technology
worldwide, smart phones will likely retain the same compatibility with
Compatibility local populations. Integrating the internet, picture taking capabilities,
banking capabilities and other features they may be even more
compatible.
The basic features of the phone are simple to use, and its touch sensitive
Complexity or user interface has contributed to its commercial success, expansion and
Simplicity rapid improvement. Adding voice commands increases access and its
simplicity for some users.
Unlike a desktop computer, a smart phone does not have a loading time
Trialability as it boots as soon as it is activated. It can be used seconds after it is
powered on.
They are attractive and filled with social features, and a powerful
processing engine. With over 400,000 applications for Android alone, or
Observability over 500,000 for iOS, app use and exploration can captivate individuals of
different interests and ages. The applications are also linked to a virtual
account and can be re-downloaded if a device is upgraded.
12. Factor Technology Assessment: Open Education
It is cheaper, customizable, and localizable. Depending on the license they
allow for “remix, reuse, revise, and redistribution”. Open textbooks are
Relative
increasingly being adopted in the United States and open content has
Advantage
reached billions. By being digital and easy to replicate there is no “Tragedy
of the Commons”.
Many individuals today first learn about a topic by “searching” for it online.
Google and its products are successful partly because they are to a great
extent open projects (open to use not all are open source). Wikipedia, a
Compatibility
fully open site, is the 6th most visited site on the Internet. Being open
means that anyone with an Internet connection should be able to access it
and/or download it.
Learning how to use them is simple, to edit them or to find them can be a
Complexity or
bit more complicated. A basic search and an advanced editing course
Simplicity
through the Community Technology Center will help reduce its complexity.
While most people understand what is “free”, they may not know how to
Trialability tell if something is free on the internet or not. They may have used
Wikipedia before but be unaware of the broader open movement.
Internet browsing is an individual activity and unless an individual decides
to share his or her internet activity most will be unaware of what site that
Observability person visit or how he or she acts in the internet. However, if individuals
are using their learning materials through their mobile devices, they will
likely receive other’s attention.

Grameen Phone, launched in 1997 in Bangladesh, outfits women
entrepreneurs or “phone ladies” in rural villages with an off-the-shelf
mobile phone and a solar recharger unit, the cost of which (approximately
$175) is financed through microloans from Grameen Bank. The phone ladies
retail the phone service to people in the villages where they live. The
performance of Grameen Phone has been nothing but astounding.

According to UNESCO (2009), there are currently 793 million individuals who lack basic reading and writing skills. Surprisingly, despite the importance of reading and writing skills, almost as universal as reading and writing is access to mobile phones.
Explain the diffferences and the evolution from OSS to OCW and Free Culture.
However, as discussed by Mark Waschauer, without taking into account the context and the needs of the local community, as well as including the community in the process of technology transfer and adoption, the investment could have a marginal impact and take away resources from other sectors where it could be of greater benefit to society.
