ROUGH DRAFT
- The Active Learning, Excited And Responsive Network. Harmonee. Enthusiastic Education!
This is a support network for community deployments / communities of learning, from teachers and classrooms of students to children and their families.
Who are we ?
- Austria
- Nosy Komba, Madagascar
OLPC France is implementing 160 Xos laptops since 2009 in a small island called Nosy Komba, in the north west of Madagascar. All students of the primary school have a laptop. A school server was built and installed in 2010. Specific content have been deployed : one acitivity "Madagascar" was created, one ebook is in Malagasy, and an ebook librairy in french is installed. In 2011 a long distance WiFi link brought the internet to students via the school server.
