Dear GKD Members, I just finished writing a paper entitled, "Product Placements in Learning Environments: From Keystone-Mast to Microsoft" a sort of history of technology companies making donations to schools, tech centers, and telecenters. It begins in the 1920's and concludes with a new initiative by Microsoft in developing countries. As someone who has been engaged in these types of donations I thought this would be a good time to reflect on the trade-offs and expectations about this kind of corporate giving and whether you should be suspicious of geeks bearing gifts.
