Intel, the world's largest processor maker, is teaming up with computer makers to develop a tablet priced below US$100.

Students of Wat Rachatiwas School show mock-up tablets. Intel will give 45 tablets to the school as part of its Future Classroom project to demonstrate the use of tablets and IT systems supporting the 1:1 eLearning model.

The move opens up a chance for the firm to be eligible to bid for the state's One Tablet Per Child project next year.

The heading is ambiguous to say the least.I have asked previously for updates about the of the initiative using computers in Thai schools but to date we have seen nothing.
Do Intel make personal computers?

Because education is one of the most important factors to consider for the development of Thailand, it would be good to see regular updates in the media of what exactly the Ministry of Education is doing to promote quality education initiatives. Very seldom do we hear anything from the MOE.
