Overview
Los talleres de One Laptop per Child (OLPC) están diseñados para proporcionar a los participantes un enfoque pragmático de las computadoras portátiles para el aprendizaje, tanto en pequeña como en gran escala. La pequeña escala implica cómo los niños aprenden y cómo los niños usan las computadoras portátiles para el aprendizaje de forma productiva y divertida. A gran escala tiene que ver con crear ambientes de aprendizaje de alta calidad para todos, no sólo a unos pocos. Este taller es el primer evento que organiza OLPC en el país destinados a la creación de capacidad local y la formación de una red nacional de organizaciones involucradas e interesadas en iniciativas de OLPC.
El taller será práctico y concreto, sin embargo, no se limitará a formación técnica. Mientras que los participantes se familiarizan con las computadoras portátiles, podrán usar la experiencia concreta, como base para la reflexión sobre la proceso de aprendizaje.

Cambridge Workshop: September 17-19, 2008
On September 17-19, 2008, attendees from around the world, mainly Colombia, Paraguay, Puerto Rico and Mexico, attended a learning workshop at OLPC headquarters. Participants walked away with a better understanding of the XO laptop, learning and the goals of One Laptop per Child.
Overview:
The One Laptop per Child (OLPC) Regional Workshop is designed to provide participants with a pragmatic understanding of laptops for learning at both the micro and macro scales. The micro scale involves how children learn and how children use laptops for learning in productive, joyful ways. The macro scale involves how to create high-quality learning environments for everyone, not just a few. This workshop is part of a larger series of events both at OLPC and in other countries and localities aimed at building local capacity and forming an international network of organizations to deploy one laptop per child.
The workshop will be practical and hands-on, yet it is not a mere technical training. Participants will become familiar with laptops for learning and will use the concrete experience as a basis for reflection upon the learning process. Participants will also learn from the examples of countries already adopting one laptop per child at national levels so as to plan how to best implement in their own countries. Participants will also get to know each other to form their own learning network so as to enable richer development in each country and the region.

Planning and Deployment
workshop for core team
more comprehensive planning documentation
guides for getting started - send this to the team
what wiki pages you want to go to for starters
case studies
whats needed for the members ofthe core team - specific job description - regional , federal and local levels - how do you transfer th knowlee knowledge
level of self - certification - how you know you are ready to work - example- Geek Corps
online training - form people who have already gone through the process
feedback - share your experience - you are part of the process and the community
____________________________
How do we sell the XO
do you need a curriculum in order to learn?
XO is not the only tool in the education
suggestions:
teachers can share lesson plans/videos
DoE should visit a pilot to see the
activites should have a goal and be a challenge
have a model country
place to teachers experiences - learn more about XO in classroom - a forum for teachers
home use integrate to the community and family life (CEIBAL book)
_____________________________
core issue - need for social network - one place where everyone can come together university involvement- how does the the university - incentives in order to help be a community that helps to support OLPC - research credits, etc, ground support using wiki or facebook model for the creating network - reach teachers students tech suport - topic links, lesson plans, projects, archive of ideas, homework, -students - network with others, activities/games - blogs, sharing, etc indicators for Evaluation - # of users, exam scores, attritions rates, survey (teacher /student)
