  • “Worldreader.org is a not-for-­profit organization based in
    Barcelona, Spain and the U.S., whose aim is to make digital books accessible to all in the developing world, from students to families to communities. As a way to gauge interest and to observe how
    the current technology performs in situ, as well as to understand logistical challenges, we initiated the world’s first trial of e-readers and e-­books in developing-­world classrooms. This document provides an overview of our e-­reader trial involving the use of 16 Kindles by sixth-­grade students at the Orphan Aid Africa School
    in Ayenyah, Ghana, which ran from March 16 through March 26, 2010.”
