I do agree that new forms of writing develop their unique styles. However, I would sure hope that we don't chuck the basics of good writing out the window. Do keep up the good work.

But almost every big thing is not accepted by the society at one go,so may be we are still not completely ready with this idea of childern studying through their lappies, so it is just about broading our concepts & taking the coming generation ahead.

I am ready to buy the idea of a low cost laptop but its not at all easy for me to digest a k12 segment laptop atleast in present timeline!! Perhaps they need to revamp marketing strategy too!!!

However, the quality of writing is poor. I would recommend that watblog put an editorial process in place that ensures, at the very least, grammatically sound posts.

The Classmate PC is Intel's efforts to advance progress in four areas: accessibility, connectivity, education, and content. Intel's entry into the market for low-cost personal computers for children in the developing world. It is in some respects similar to the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) trade association's Children's Machine (XO), which has a similar target market. Although definitely made for profit, the laptop production is believed to be an Information and Communication Technologies for Development project. Intel has a long history of working to improve education worldwide and this programs will prepare teachers and students for success in the global economy. The Intel-based classmate PC is a small, mobile educational solution that Intel has developed specifically for students. Overall, the Classmate PC is an impressive product. Intel has done a good job with the design and manufacture of these laptops. Thanks, Love Chopra Hey Surabhi,

I completely agree, though the idea is very novel... it is going to take a hell lot of time for the teachers to become accustomed to the new technology. Plus, In India, there is always more stress on traditional maths and science. The learning is rote based rather than understanding based...and marks are the sole criteria. Though with the introduction of IB curriculum in some international schools, this may become a big hit. But, a major revamp in educational policies need to be done in order to get the full impact of the Classmate. Hi Surabhi,
