1 - an engine for learning: On a chilly evening in Luquia, Peru, Alejandra watches as her son Miguel sits outside their house, his face illuminated by the light from his XO. "This computer is going to be a very good thing for learning."

2 - motivation to explore: Seven-year-old Idelma types "Idelma ama a mamá" into her XO, and wiggles with pleasure as the computer's voice read her sentence back. Her teacher Inga:, "This really motivates them, and makes it easier for kids to advance at their own pace."

3 - learning math and photography: Justo Miguel Común is a fifth-grader, and is the youngest of seven children of subsistence farmers. Two weeks after getting his laptop, he was taking it everywhere. "I like the math games, and I love the camera."

4 - children and teachers learning together: In the weeks before XOs arrived at this school, the teacher had requested retirement. After seeing them in use for a week, she asked to delay her retirement date, to take part in the project.

5 - recovering from an earthquake: the Puyang Primary School, in Sichuan, took in many of the students who were affected by the massive earthquake in May 2008. 1,000 of those students received XO laptops in 2009.
