The first pilots in Dutch Schools have started in November 2008. Two schools in Maastricht twinning with 1 school in Nicaragua. More pilots are in development. See http://www.openwijs.nl/een-laptop-per-leerling-olpc.
We'd like to make pilots in Dutch schools happen.
The not-for-profit foundation OpenWijs.nl is established to promote the concept of OLPC, to manage projects based on this educational concept and to broaden this concept to other target groups and regions. This foundation is not part of OLPC NL (grassroots group OLPC the Netherlands) but the people in the foundation are "member" of this group. If you want to start a project (in the Netherlands or abroad) or would like to order one or more XO's to test for your school, feel free to contact us.


Marten Vijn has also some experience with the use of the XO in Dutch primary education. See www.martenvijn.nl
To get started we need people, who want to work setting up pilots in the Netherlands. Like always voluntarily.
We can start by gathering and sharing information, developing a strategy, a plan, timeline, etc. Also check out the [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Pilot_Projects_Exchange Pilot Projects Exchange].


Harrie Vollaard has a lot of experience due to the pilots in Russia, Mongolia and Nepal. See http://metersmakenvoormillennium.nl
What we need:
* know-how and thorough research
* connections to the ministry of education, the OLPC foundation, teachers/schools,...
* a scientific and waterproof evaluation plan of the experiences
* a pilot project plan
* pilot schools/classes
* a quantity of XO laptops (or equivalant hardware)
* content creation and sharing
* monitoring and evaluating (measure) while deploying
* create and adopt more content
* plan more pilots
* and a lot more

The first pilots in Dutch Schools have started in November 2008. Two schools in Maastricht twinning with 1 school in Nicaragua. More pilots are in development. See http://www.openwijs.nl/een-laptop-per-leerling-olpc. The not-for-profit foundation OpenWijs.nl is established to promote the concept of OLPC, to manage projects based on this educational concept and to broaden this concept to other target groups and regions. This foundation is not part of OLPC NL (grassroots group OLPC the Netherlands) but the people in the foundation are "member" of this group. If you want to start a project (in the Netherlands or abroad) or would like to order one or more XO's to test for your school, feel free to contact us.

Marten Vijn has also some experience with the use of the XO in Dutch primary education. See www.martenvijn.nl
