One Laptop per Child (OLPC)
2008-02-01 19:49:00 In 2005, Nicholas Negroponte, co-founder and director of MIT's Media Lab started the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) target="blank" foundation. The vision is to give every child on the planet a laptop. The program has received a lot of press recently. Lesley Stahl?s 60 Minutes piece, ?What If Every Child Had a Laptop? conveys Negroponte's inspired dream. Virginia Heffernan in her article "Children?s Crusade" in the New York Times Magazine writes, "The XO was designed, with much fanfare, for One Laptop Per Child, the marvelously hubristic organization created by the M.I.T. new-media guru Nicholas Negroponte to equip two billion children in poor countries with a means to educational salvation. In October, Negroponte presented the laptop at the Vatican to an audience of Roman Catholic schoolteachers and nuns. He stressed that his laptop would not run programs like Word, PowerPoint or Excel. When third-world kids use mainstream office software, he said, ?that breaks my heart most.?... More About: One Laptop per Child

Technologies for Worship Magazine likes WildPresenter
2007-11-14 21:30:00 "Wild Presenter Pro is a powerful multimedia creation and presentation software solution allowing you to quickly produce and present professional looking presentations for the web, ?big-screen? or disc. Wildform has worked very hard and done a very admirable job to walk the ease-of-use vs powerful-features tightrope. I appreciate Wildform Presenter?s WISIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) interface providing that ?blessed assurance? that my final output would be as intended. One of the programs many time savers is the ability to create and edit each element individually (image, video clip, text, etc.) within any WildPresenter presentation avoiding what I call ?gopher presentation building? (?Wait here while I leave the program and go for the original fi le to edit it in another program.?). WildPresenter Pro does a great job of converting PowerPoint presentations to Flash.
