NEWS
My OLPC was delivered on December 19th.
Mine also arrived on the 19th. I've only had a few minutes with it so far, but have managed to get online and do a little writing. : Mark 14:07, 20 December 2007 (EST)
Mine's here! Not sure when it arrived as I was out of town, but I'm having fun trying to figure it out. Haven't gotten online yet... Jane 20 December 2007

EVENTS
Meetups a happinin'! Hi Gang: My local Eugene, OR group is meeting next week and I'm starting to think about what we might want to accomplish. Have you meshed with another XO (and user) yet? I'm curious: What would you want to do in a f2f meeting? I'll blog to the group with your and my ideas, please send them along.
US Schools: Strategies for adoption
In order to make headway for XO adoption in K-12 schools in the United States, applicability to "No Child Left Behind" is an essential first step. While pilot programs and benefits to student learning and classroom instruction are important, in some real sense these are corollaries to what matters most to the bottom line of school districts: the federally mandated "No Child Left Behind" program.
Please expand on this section with your ideas of how advocates of OLPC can speak in the language of school district administrators, boards, and faculty members regarding their school objectives. How would the OLPC improve school test scores? How could OLPC improve "scientifically based research" in the classroom?
