rubl Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 But, but, the Democrats ... but, but Thai Rak Thai ... Next we will have a look at the reason why PM General Chavalit didn't introduce tabletPcs when he was PM :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzMick Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Surprised to read that all Prathom1 students are using tablets because the local village school where I live certainly haven't received any yet. A friend of mine here in Udon from Italy teaches at a rural school. No electricty and dirt floors. But of course the propaganda from PTP sounds good. So why did the democrat party when it was in power waste money on subsidising school uniforms when the rural schools in Udon have only dirt floors and no electricity? But I suppose it's essential to have a school uniform to be educated. Would you rather they had a uniform, or not had a tablet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muttley Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Seems like a valid response to me. If the democrats didn't see it as essential to replace the the dirt floors and non existent electricity of these hearsay schools why should supporters of that political party have the front to whine about the PTP allegedly not doing anything about it. I said this before, the "but, but the democrats" rebuttal is not worthy of even schoolboy debating technique. Either come up with something unique or don't bother. You belittle yourself by employing it as such. Belittling ones self is not being able to respond to a subject matter of the OP without going off on a tangent about another political party. Well anyhow I see you are back. Now can you answer my question on the other thread please? I had an APB out for you (smiley). IPad doesn't show emotions. Thats not the meaning of "belittle". As for your other "question", sorry I won't dignify that with a reply. It's a stupid question which adds nothing to the debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candypants Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Google has a few interesting clips on using computers in the classroom. Of course they're commercially interested with their chromebook, but it shows what is possible. Go to youtube and search for 'eduatgoogle'. Or just start here if google has some interesting clips i suspect that was not one of them as all it did was trot out IT cliches on a south park background. It was pure hype with no substance.

OzMick Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Would you rather they had a uniform, or not had a tablet? Another "question" not worth dignifying with an answer. Really? The democrat program was a subsidy for uniforms and text books, which allowed students from the poorest families to stay in school longer, and was an appreciated assistance for many. It was cancelled and the allocated budget used for tablets which the students referred to cannot use, and do not have. Which would they prefer? And if you refer to the OP, textbooks are still required even for those who have received their tablets, but of course, the subsidy is gone not only for them, but every grade.

Your area is one of a growing number who, likewise, have no ScoPads for the P-1 students. The misleading, misnamed One Tablet Per Child... (unchanged since their initial promise of 11 million tablets for all students in all grades) isn't even reaching all the P-1 students. .

THEY ARE SUPPOSED to have been delivered in Nakhon Pathom (my province) but a source at the local MOE has not seen them.. I think i may go look at a couple of my old schools to see if thy are there.

jamhar Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) Oh dear, seems it was a good idea after all................ Hope the TV naysayers aren't choking on their coffee. Hope their coffee is not too hot. Damn that coffee is hot! Naysayer here! http://news.yahoo.com/schools-shift-textbooks-tablets-081047398.html Its been a while since I've been out of school and I totally forgot how expensive the text books are. And as a cost savings measure, I can see how it could work. On an additional positive note, I predict a lowering of textbooks Very SOON Edited March 12, 2013 by jamhar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginjag Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Oh dear, seems it was a good idea after all................ Hope the TV naysayers aren't choking on their coffee. Sounds OK doesn;t it ??? good. BUT the second batch due now is delayed 6 months or more so they are scheduled to arrive in November... Ok for some kids though. What % have got them ???? sounds like selected BKK schools and the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rattler Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Oh dear, seems it was a good idea after all................ Hope the TV naysayers aren't choking on their coffee. Let me see if in 10 years I can go to a 7-11 buy something for 90 baht and see if they can calculate the change or not from a 100 baht note.

rattler Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 The director of my school gave away all the tablets to "important" people in the community. Some the the parents of the EP students, some to her friends. The rest remain locked in a cabinet, gathering dust. The whole program is a sham. aint that the truth!!

philw Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Jolly good, pip pip an all that........... In reply to your post #75, i suppose that depends if you can use a calculator to check your change............. Meanwhile the country progresses, the economy grows, the borders are less fraught than they were, tourism is growing, stock market looks good, the PM gets ever more serious international validation, the Dems go backwards and terrorism just ain't terrorism anymore ( per recent court rulings.)

I wonder if amongst those schools in the USA that have implemented replacing textbooks with tablets there are the same 2,000 schools without electricity like Thailand. .
