How do you evaluate a plan like Ceibal? | A World Bank Blog on ICT use in Education

  • n many ways, Ceibal can, and perhaps should, be seen not so much as an education project, but as a larger societal transformation project (of the sort often associated with e-government initiatives), with the education system as the primary and initial dissemination vector.
  • Under Plan Ceibal (earlier blog post here), Uruguay is the first country in the world to ensure that all primary school students (or at least those in public schools) have their own personal laptop.  For free.  (The program is being extended to high schools, and, under a different financial scheme, to private schools as well).  Ceibal is about more than just 'free laptops for kids', however.  There is a complementary educational television channel. Schools serve as centers for free community wi-fi, and free connectivity has been introduced in hundreds of municipal centers around the country as well.  There are free local training programs for parents and community members on how to use the equipment.  Visiting Uruguay last week, I was struck by how many references there were to 'one laptop per teacher' (and not just 'one laptop per child', which has been the rallying cry for a larger international initiative and movement).

Teachers In The Movies

WELCOME to Teachers in the Movies, brought to you by Dr. Apple, the Movie Teacher. This website is dedicated to help teaching
professionals bring movies into their curriculum. For more than 20 years, I have collected and reviewed over 200 movies
dealing with teachers, schools and students and how they deal with all types of topics including bullying, cheating, dropouts and
so much more. The purpose of this website is share what I've learned from these movies about the teaching profession with
you. If you need a movie dealing with a specific problem, then I can prescribe a movie or clip to cure your educational ailments.
