Online Learning Games - Potential to reach out to many

Here am I writing about online learning games, online tutoring games, online learning courses, etc and what do I find happening that so supports these thoughts.

There is apparently a project called One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) Project. An extract from the blog reads:
"It’s a project that MIT and other humanitarian organizations have been involved in to bring an inexpensive computer to children in developing countries. Not only may this technology alter the way that children learn in these countries, but it may serve as a model for our own computing needs."

How promising? Because the technology is needed to drive online learning games. Let the kids have their fun while they learn.

For those interested in the full article, it is actually from a blog that was written for “blog action day”, which is today October 15. The cool thing about this project is that it takes environment into consideration as well. Click here if you want to read all about it.
