TO GO WITH AFP STORY A schoolgirl writes old-fashion with chalk on a blackboard while in class 07 December, 2007 in Villa Cardal, 80km from Montevideo. The sentences written on the board aim to explain basic concepts and advantages of the use of computers in education: "This new communication era opens the way to information", "But above all, don't forget that computers can't solve it all" and "It is a tool, a companion to make friends around the planet". The small 2,000 inhabitants village of Villa Cardal was chosen by its peculiar characteristics to host the first stage of the "Ceibal" (A native forest of 'ceibo' trees) project, consisting in assigning a specially designed laptop to each schoolboy to be used as a learning tool and to connect the young students of even remote places to the rest of the world.
