Dear Educators,

We've been in touch with each of you about ideas for activating our educator community. With pilot programs currently underway in Nigeria, Peru, Uruguay, and Brazil, we're ready to get started!

In anticipation of supporting the teachers who are using OLPC laptops in their classrooms, we'd like to begin by expanding the presence of educators on the OLPCWiki-- that is to say, you.

We've been working on an "Educational Organization" template for groups involved in the OLPC project-- a way for groups to identify their interests and expertise-- and we'd love for you to try it out. If you get a minute, we'd love for you to:

  1. Create an account on the OLPCWiki and
  2. Follow these instructions to create a page for your organization:
Educational_organization_template

Then, tell us what you think! (You can also write back with wiki questions-- we'll be happy to help you out!)

Thank you so much.

--Lauren

Something about an educator mailing list? Should there be one?
Also, needs some more inspiration/vision. SJ? That's all you.
