Many people put high hopes on how new technologies can support creative learning experiences that keep the kids motivated. This session focused on the similarities and contrasts in what motivates kids in a highly technological environment and one where virtually no technology is available. The first case was how children use Scratch, a programming language and online community where people can create and share their projects. The second case looked at how, in a very different community – a refugee camp that barely has the basics - kids continue to learn and explore. It was about comparing and contrasting the experiences and drawing conclusions for learning.
