Back to School with Tablets Embedded in Digital Desks

摘要

Proveiding high-quality education is important everywhere, but in Brazil, in particular, education has become a top priority because of its importance in the fight against social and economic inequality. For this reason, the Brazilian Federal Government has been encouraging R&D with regard to information technology for education and digital inclusion. One of the approaches currently being pursued is the intensive use of computers inside classrooms. While computer labs and laptops - the latter especially as provided by the One Laptop Per Child program - go far toward providing an enriching technology experience in the classroom, digital desktops are an additional and intriguing educational option.
