Today Carlos took us on a tour of a private educational institute called COC, to contrast with a trip to a public school tomorrow. The level of technology in the school was phenomenal; they had a a whole classroom rigged with virtual reality equipment sitting unused as it is now outdated. It's been replaced instead by 3D technology so the students sit in a science class with a pair of IMAX glasses on, while the tertiary level distance e-learning is an impressive explosion of live broadcast online interaction between the lecturer and thousands of students off-campus. Meanwhile the tots are busy in their 'tiny town'- a miniature city which features pintsize versions of a bank, post office, home, farm, supermarket, etc. They have kiddie cheque books and even their own mayoral elections!
