Touring a Rural Indian Cybervan
I've just returned from a wonderful visit to a cyber van touring the Maharashtra countryside near Baramati, India. We spent an hour visiting with the students and teachers as they used the cybervan to learn MS Paint, and toured a classroom that was also teaching basic computer graphics to 5th graders. Meanwhile, across the road I met another group of village kids who never got to use the cybervan, so the contrast was quite striking.
I conducted interviews with several students and shot lots of video, so I plan to edit it into a video blog at some point. More later... -andy
