"One Laptop Per Child" program uses "WikiTextbooks"
The potential for sustainable agriculture and sustainability education is
tremendous
with this free, wireless, windup, inexpensive laptop computer widely
distributed to children living in
low income areas in foreign countries. It was in the news tonight on PBS
McNeil-Lehrer.
Tonight's broadcast included a great promotion for organically & sustainably grown and locally grown produce sold at
farmers markets and on farmers markets as an institution. It also included a program article on Coly Collapse Disorder
(on now).
"One Laptop Per Child" program uses "WikiTextbooks"
[The Wikipedia, included with the new Kindle digital reader from Amazon, uses
Wiki software, MediaWiki]
See http://www.permaculture.info/index.php/Main_Page for another
