This Wednesday will begin shipping in Cerro La Teja and Ceibal Plan laptops for teachers and students of secondary education . Equipment is more powerful than the XO distributed in Primary and Secondary and UTU reach in the coming months. "The Ceibal is a great tool, but no more than a tool to transform education," said Miguel Brechner, Director of the Plan.
Ceibal Plan completed the acquisition of 100 000 computers to be delivered to teachers and students of public secondary education (technical schools).
From Wednesday October 6 laptops come to school in 2nd year of the departments of Montevideo and Canelones, starting with students who have not previously received a laptop. It was reported Tuesday at a news conference, the first schools to receive these machines will be located in neighborhoods and Cerro La Teja.
proceed parallel to the replacement of equipment for students who previously were given an XO and have already reached high school.

The laptops were purchased in the last international tender awarded to One Laptop Per Child Foundation and the Portuguese firm JP Couto. The OLPC foundation provided 90 000 X0 1.5 hours and the Portuguese firm Magalhanes MG2 10 000 teams.
Miguel Brechner, president of the Board Ceibal said that this new phase is, as all of the above, a "cute phase" which again seems to Ceibal "re start." "We reinventing things all the time, we are the first thing we are doing this style, "she added.
" I'd rather be sitting here two months ago, but the technology also plays tricks and a shortage of circuits in the world behind delivery. I apologize that I am aware that this is best done before, but the important thing is that the machines are already "he added.
Brechner warned that" the Ceibal is a great tool, but no more than a tool to transform education and to be part of this transformation to do the institutions, teachers, parents, civil society. We do not have to bet on the mystical technology, because technology is just a tool, the computer serves as is used, it opens the head, no use unless it is used or if used for things that make no sense. And take note that I am a big supporter of the games on the computer because I think it's a great way to learn, "he said.
The UTU high school students and students from machines they will receive subsequent to the signing of a" use agreement " to be signed by a responsible adolescent. Through this document, agrees to return the machine if the student does not complete the basic cycle.
Wilson Netto, UTU general manager, said on this point that the idea is more to prevent dropout of the educational system, "increase the bond." "This is another instrument that is fundamentally deepen teamwork, work outside the classroom as well, which sometimes is a little abandoned and thus establish networks of students and teachers. Any element or strategy helps, but fundamentally we would to work on improving learning, we can not settle only with the link to attend, "she added.
Similarly, Pilar Ubilla, Chairman of the Board of Secondary Education, said that "teachers are preparing to use the best instrument, and acknowledged that it will allow "Work hard on how to select the information" that teens will find on the web. He highlighted the presence of the laptops as an element contributing to the "enjoyment of education." "That study is not a punishment but a place where we all feel gratified," he said.
The Director of Central Board of ANEP, José Seoane, said timing of the announcement of the expansion of this program Ceibal "challenges to the education system in multiple planes, and is" a huge factor of democratization. "
"The country is very big challenges in terms of equitable distribution of learning. Ceibal nos permite aumentar estos aspectos de forma acelerada", agregó.
"El país se encuentra en una etapa interesante, crecientemente confiado y optimista, crecientemente confiado y esperanzado en sus posibilidades de transformación, entendemos que la expansión de Ceibal en educación media será un componente sustancial en la construcción de un mejor destino entre todos y para todos", valoró.
Las máquinas
Las laptop compradas para esta nueva fase del Plan son instrumentos más poderosos que las ceibalitas entregadas a los escolares en la primera etapa del Programa.
Tienen 1GB de memoria RAM y 8GB de memoria de almacenamiento, además de un procesador four times faster than the XO 1.0.
Both the XO 1.5 like Magalhanes have the Linux operating system (the system also have XO Sugar) and a battery life of just over two hours. The XO 1.5 has a 7.5-inch monitor, while the Magalhanes is 10.1 inches.
