Not sure which Tom you thought missed the discussion of cheap tablets 
for Indian education, but this one did not:

By the way, ABC TV broadcast the documentary "Revolution in the 
Classroom" (Four Corners, 6 February 2012), suggesting use of computers 
in schools had little benefit:

In my view this program missed the point that computers had a benefit 
when combined with new teaching techniques which freed the teacher from 
routine lessons, so they could help individual students:
