One Laptop Per Child

It was exciting to meet and learn from everyone about the potential we all see in the One Laptop Per Child program. Before we all get caught up in the many commitments we each have at home, I want to ask for your help.

Please take ten minutes to reflect on the Workshop, what we learned, and what new questions do we need to find answers for. What are your next immediate steps that you will be taking after having been to this workshop. And finally, if you have any thoughts on how Nortel LearniT could be of assistance in your efforts, we would love to know.

Please use this weblog as the space to Reply and share your thoughts.

I hope that you will all take a few minutes to look at some of the resources that we’ve been creating to support new XO users at:

Thank you all so much for letting me be a part of such an exciting and important week.

Davids report on the Brazil school program provides significant insight into many of the issues involved in 1 to 1 computing.
