Re: [xmca] Given Tablets But No Teachers, Ethiopian Kids Teach Themselves



Interesting story, Peter.

I found it interesting that the "learn to read" precedes "reading to learn"
formula used in the article.

Not at all clear that a print-literacy notion of what reading is and what
the ordering of sense making through graphic symbols and representations is
appropriate for what people hope is going on there.
