First Blog day...

This is the first time I post information about the project we are doing in Costa Rica with the support of the Omar Dengo Foundation.

This is the group of 14 children I am working with there. They go to a rural school is located in a small community called El Silencio, in the northern part of the country.

We have given every child at the school a laptop computer and other digital technologies, including LEGO-style robotics and Internet-based videoconferencing. We are developing activities that allow all the children, first to sixth grade, to work together. These activities are rich in the three dimensions: engage students; connect with local issues; and connect with powerful ideas in mathematics, science, social sciences, as well as civic and human values.

This project is in Collaboration with Omar Dengo Fundation.
