Four years ago, Nicholas Negroponte introduced the world to the “One Laptop Per Child” idea at WSIS by showing off a “$100 laptop” with UN Secretary General Kofi Annan. The educational and technology fields haven’t been the same since.

So this month’s Educational Technology Debate will try to capture what we have learned from OLPC in a holistic fashion.

What do YOU think we’re learning from Negroponte’s wild idea of Constructionism via XO laptops?
