Take a moment to reflect upon all that’s been shared today as a result of our break out sessions focusing on issues.

For your situation, what is the most pressing issue you face as you look forward in implementing the use of the XO computers?

What help do you need to overcome this issue?

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:
