para llegar a Buenos Aires y estar frente al Cabildo oal Obelisco.Mientras los chicos más gran<strong>de</strong>s van y vienen por laescuela con sus uniformes, al lado, en el aula <strong>de</strong> losgrados <strong>de</strong> 1º y 2º, María Ester lleva a<strong>de</strong>lante la clasecon las computadoras. Tiene pizarra digital pero huboalgún problema (presumiblemente vinculada con elpolvo, cuando pintaron la escuela) que la ha <strong>de</strong>jadoinactiva. Aquí hay más caos que en el aula anterior.Tanto que, <strong>de</strong> repente, aparece una nena <strong>de</strong>l jardín <strong>de</strong>infantes que, cada vez que pue<strong>de</strong>, se escapa a la <strong>de</strong> 1ºgrado porque ella quiere apren<strong>de</strong>r con la computadora.Tiene a algunos <strong>de</strong> sus hermanos en ese grado yparece sentirse motivada por emplear esa herramientaen esto <strong>de</strong> po<strong>de</strong>r hacer letras y números.<strong>La</strong>s activida<strong>de</strong>s que realizan los chicos en este cursoson <strong>de</strong> lo más variadas. Maira Sosa (7) dice: “Tengoque redon<strong>de</strong>ar las cosas que son diferentes. Busco laimagen y le pongo un círculo cuando lo encuentro. Megusta usar la ‘compu’ porque es para estudiar. Y en micasa la usamos todos, somos cuatro. Hago lengua, estudiosumas, problemas, apren<strong>de</strong>mos los números, yallegamos hasta 120”.A su lado, Nerina Jiménez (6) está buscando imágenes<strong>de</strong> animales para estudiar. “Pero también me gusta jugara los jueguitos <strong>de</strong> cocinita, a veces busco cuentitos”,comenta. <strong>La</strong> máquina también se usa mucho ensu casa: “Mi mamá lee el diario y mi hermana (9) estudia.Mi papá ve vi<strong>de</strong>os <strong>de</strong> cacería <strong>de</strong> chanchos, perosólo sabe manejar el mouse y los botones. Mi hermanale busca los vi<strong>de</strong>os”. Los papás <strong>de</strong> Nerina se <strong>de</strong>dican ala actividad rural: la mamá or<strong>de</strong>ña la leche <strong>de</strong> un par <strong>de</strong>vacas <strong>de</strong> su propiedad, y el papá amansa caballos, a<strong>de</strong>más<strong>de</strong> criar otros dos terneritos. Es posible que en estafamilia la computadora termine siendo un elementopara ayudar a estos trabajadores rurales a apren<strong>de</strong>r algunascosas nuevas vinculadas con su actividad.Belén (9), alumna <strong>de</strong> 2º grado, nos muestra orgullosasu netbook. Relata con satisfacción: “Mi mamá me pi<strong>de</strong>que le ayu<strong>de</strong> a buscar cosas en Internet, como recetasy ropa”. <strong>La</strong> pequeña tiene otros cuatro hermanos.24 |uniforms, in the next room, the 1st and 2nd gra<strong>de</strong> classroom, MariaEster teaches her lesson with computers. She also has a digital boardin her classroom, but something happened, probably something relatedto the dust raised when the school was painted, and it is not workingat the moment. There is more chaos here than in the previousclassroom. It is so chaotic that all of a sud<strong>de</strong>n a little girl from kin<strong>de</strong>rgartenshows up in the 1st gra<strong>de</strong>rs classroom because she wants tolearn with the computer. Some of her brothers are in that classroomand she seems to be very eager to use this tool and to be able to writeletters and numbers.Children in this course carry out the most diverse tasks. Maira Sosa(7) claims: “I have to round up things that are different. I look for animage and circle it when I find it. I love using my computer to study.And at home, we all use the computer, we are four. I study language,do addition, solve problems and we learn the numbers, we got tonumber 120”.Close to her, Nerina Jiménez (6) is looking for images of animals tostudy. “But I also like to play games related to cooking and sometimesI look for tales”, she comments. The computer is also used a lot inher house: “My mum reads the newspaper and my sisters (9) studies.My dad watches pig hunting vi<strong>de</strong>os, but he only uses the mouse andbuttons. My sister looks for vi<strong>de</strong>os for him”. Nerina’s parents work inrural activities: the mother milks their own cows and the father breaksin horses and breeds two calves. It is very likely that the computer inthis family ends up being a tool to help these rural workers to learnsome new things related to their activity.Belén, a 2nd gra<strong>de</strong>r, proudly shows her netbook. She passionatelytells: “My mum asks me to help her look for things on the internet, likerecipes and clothes”. This little girl has 4 brothers and sisters.Gustavo Fanipa (7) has two ol<strong>de</strong>r brothers who also have their owncomputer. So as to play with them, he downloads from the internetDonald Duck’s games, his favorite character. Close to him, Brian lis-
