One Laptop Per Child

Recently in the news, there has been an increase in the discussion of the One Laptop per Child Project that is currently being implemented. So, what exactly is this phenomenal project? Nicholas Negroponte is the founder and chairman of the project, in which there are specially designed computers for children to enhance learning. The goal is to have residents purchase a laptop to send to a child in a third world country so that they can experience the online world and be connected with everyone worldwide. I first saw the video below as it aired live on CNN and had to share it. This is truly a fascinating project and hopefully will enhance learning for those certain children.
