Description¶

A technology-implementation project in which OLPC laptops were introduced in nine rural Indian primary schools within a longitudinal quasi-experimental design (test n = 126, control n = 79) with pre- and post-experiment measures. The project "utilized strategies identified by the Technology-Community-Management model to address contextually germane factors of teacher training, unbiased gender access, and local language use."
