I see too many teachers, relatives of schoolchildren and volunteers, concerned about learning Linux/Sugar.
it is difficult, particularly after after teaching class all day, to study Linux/Sugar and still have enough time and energy left to take full advantage of all the educational applications such as Etoys pre-installed in the XOs.
Veo a demasiados maestros, familiares y voluntarios, preocupados por aprender Linux/Sugar.
es difícil, especialmente después de enseñar todo el día, estudiar Linux/Sugar y todavía tener suficiente tiempo y energía para sacar todo el provecho posible a todas las aplicaciones educativas, tales como Etoys, pre-instaladas en las XOs.
GE is being congratulated for recognizing that the iPhone and iPad are pretty good ideas and technological realizations. But isn't this like the congratulations Bill Gates got for finally recognizing the Internet (about 25 years after it had started working)?
Seems as though Apple had a lot more on the ball than Bill Gates or GE here (they used to do computing in the 60s, but couldn't see what it was).
And most of the ideas at Apple (and for personal computing and the Internet) came from research funding that no company or government has been willing to do since 1982.
Cheers,
