Welcome

This is the main organizational page for the OLPC educator community. It is a work in progress.

The purpose of this community is to support teachers who are using XOs in their classrooms, and to involve educators of various backgrounds who are interested in contributing to the OLPC project.

Where to Start

Haven't been here before?

What should I do first?

  • Read about the OLPC Learning Vision, to learn more about why we think children in developing countries need laptops and what we think laptops will enable them to do.
  • Learn about our pilot programs-- read our reports from Nigeria and Thailand, visit the OLPC Ceibal blog, and explore the wiki pages created by OLPC Brazil.
  • Familiarize yourself with the various Creative Commons licenses, since we want all of the educational material produced for and connected with the project to be free and open source.

And then what?
