If children can learn to read, they can read to learn. That’s the philosophy behind an experiment to find out if illiterate children can learn to read on their own with the help of a tablet. Please have a look at how tablets may replace teachers (in some instances).

The results certainly look like they work. Love these programs giving kids the opportunity to learn.
How cool that they are solar charging?

March 1, 2013 at 4:13 pmWhat the heck? After 5 Months they “Hacked Android”? The tablet turned them into hackers/criminals? Lols.
On a more serious note, if this yields a good success rate then maybe it could be a cheaper alternative to paying educators to go there and teach. And for now there’s definitely a shortage of volunteer tutors who are willing to go live in third world countries like Ethiopia.
