Great to see political parties recognizing the potential of the XO.
Here you can find the pre-election program of the Social democrats, where on page 36 you can find the following excertp:
Z računalniškim izobraževanjem danes začenjamo mnogo prepozno, obenem pa tovrstnemu izobraževanju v izobraževalnem procesu posvečamo občutno premalo časa. Otroci in mladi računalniško znanje pogosto dobivajo doma in na neustrezen način ob samostojnem raziskovanju svetovnega spleta. Slovenija mora v najkrajšem možnem času pripraviti akcijski načrt, ki bo vključeval uvedbo novih načinov izobraževanja s pomočjo računalnikov v naš šolski sistem. Z računalniškim opismenjevanjem otrok moramo v okviru izobraževalnega procesa pričeti prej, najbolje že ob vstopu v obvezno izobraževanje, da bi otrokom že v prvem razredu osnovne šole uporabo osebnega računalnika približali do te mere, da bi postal eno ključnih orodij v izobraževalnem procesu, in ne le dodatno orodje izbrane skupine, ki si osebne računalnike lahko privošči in je računalniško pismena. Zato je smotrno, da se Slovenija po letih nemega opazovanja z daljave aktivno vključi v projekt En prenosnik na otroka (One Laptop per Child), katerega namen je zmanjšati razlike med otroci, kar se tiče dostopa do novih tehnologij in izobraževanja, ter posebej za otroke razviti prenosnik XO, prilagojen izobraževanju otrok ob vstopu v obvezno izobraževanje.
In brief: Slovenia should get actively involved in the OLPC program.
Media reports on OLPC in Slovenia
- Dnevnik on the XOXO
- Dnevnik on Intel bailing out
- Dnevnik on Slovenia's paritication in the program
- Dnevnik on the production of the XO kicking off
