Handhelds in Kenya

For a long time I have been enthusiastic about the possibilities of using handheld computers in education, particularly with younger children, so I was delighted to read about this project by EduVision at a primary school on the shores of Lake Victoria in Kenya.

It is being run in association with UNESCO, the Kenyan Ministry of Education etc.

Some critical comments have been made about the project.
