Interested schools
Schools in the United States will be able to get XOs through the Give One, Get One program when it launches in Fall 2008. Every interested school should create a page on the OLPC wiki describing their project vision, goals, implementation plans, what you are doing to prepare, etc. Schools should also get a technical development team to work with them and send in a Developers program application to get trial XOs.
US Schools
Pence Elementary School, Southern California I teach at an elementary school in San Diego. I am in a similar situation as the teacher from Wahluke High School. We have a high population of English Learners and low SES status. I would like more information about how my students could receive these computers. We have computers in our school, but when teachers assign research projects, usage of the internet is necessary. Most students only have access to internet once a week at school, or at the public library. If we even had one classroom set of these computers, we could rotate them among the school. Please give me more information. E. Medina
- I teach in a school in eastern Washington State that is 98% hispanic, and 87% free and reduced lunch which puts them below the poverty level. Is there a plan for US schools that allows access to this program? I am not sure where to post this question but would appreciate some information. I have many bright students with no access to technology though the town secured a grant for wireless internet which is available to all within reach of the signal. Unfortunately, there are still no tools for these kids to use!
