USB Study Stick
Kind of a neat idea, drawn from Google's recently release Pack, "a free collection of essential software from Google and other companies." What would an educational Pack look like? Portable office, Firefox, calendar and RSS reader? How about a a portable personal learning enviroment (PPLE) (I like that)? How about a wiki on a stick? Or even Wikipedia on a stick?

Re: USB Study Stick
If such a pack were made available, I wonder who would distribute it (and what would be in it for them?) Are there any global education players who could make a pitch for an equivalent to http://www.google.com/ig/dell and offer such a download pack from there? I also think such a thing would feed well into the idea of the $100 laptop for the South/Third World? [Comment] [Permalink] [Previous][Next]
