Peru activity pack

Introduction

Starting with operating system Update.1 build 700, 'base software' design does not include any activities.

Deployment staff working with OLPC staff and local volunteers, will develop a core base of activities to be installed on the XO-1 Laptop during deployment.

---

This page is for developing the list of activities for the OLPC Peru deployment. Which currently is strictly controlled by the Peruvian 'ministry of education' administration with coordination of OLPC staff. Currently, there is no mechanism to gather/collect community volunteer input about deployment activities. So below is

Peru deployment

The OLPC Peru deployment (as of March'2008, estimated to be over 250,000) units will be deployed in Peru with the base system software and the following activities. Additional activities, of course, can be added on a school-by-school, classroom-by-classroom, or individual basis. The decision to preload so many activities is to ensure a broad coverage in light of the expectation of intermittent interact access in the initial phases of the deployment. (In addition to activities, a number of content bundles are being prepared: books, poetry, etc.)

In addition to the Journal, which is still part of the base system, approximately 35 activities will be preinstalled. Ordered list of the activities displayed in the frame (See [1]):
