Learning as an antidote to violence

A short article on the effects of one woman's progress in changing student's actions from violent to engaged, through the use of technology. I was initially interested because the woman is located in Colombia, SA and I have relatives there, though not in Medillin where she is. I was interested in reading the interview to find out more only to discover upon clicking the link that it is in Spanish. Relatives that speak Spanish does not mean that I do. It does seem, however, from the article, that by incorporating technology into the learning process the students were more engaged and active in their education. That has to lead to less activity elsewhere. It probably also raised the moral and self worth of the students making them less prone to acting out their frustrations because they could think them out. This educator has gone on to form a coalition of 16 nations which are building a common library of Latin American curriculum, and lowering costs by sharing technological development. My thought: sharing is good.
