Interviews in Portugal with key stakeholders on the deployment of 450,000 “Magellan PCs” for students revealed that the project is so influential the students are now being referred to as the “Magellan Generation” – an entire generation experiencing education in a new light with greater access to information beyond the walls of their classroom. Children are pursuing their interest and using technology as a tool to explore, create, and share their ideas with their friends and families. They have a more positive attitude toward learning and a more widespread belief that they have a bright future ahead. This is the first nationwide deployment with universal coverage of all 1st-4th grade students using a PC based on the Intel-powered classmate PC reference design. For more information on how innovative education solutions from Intel are impacting Portugal, see “The Magellan Generation” blog. For more on Intel in education see the “Generation of Innovators” page and for more on impact, see the “Positive Impact of eLearning” white paper (PDF 449KB).

Sustained technology use in classrooms is hampered by difficult moments of transitions, which take time and distract from the core activity of learning. These transitions happen between lessons, individuals, study groups, and classroom-wide activities. Intel’s efforts in device composition through our Carry Small, Live Large research initiative enables mobile devices such as the Intel-powered classmate PC to dynamically share their clipboard and storage for collaborative learning, and then seamlessly transition to front-of-the-class presentations using wireless display technology.
