Wiki Educator project

I would find it difficult to develop programs for the XO but am interested in teacher training. My background is in Instructional Technology, have taught at K-12, undergrad and grad levels. I would like working with like-minded individuals on training initiatives.


The OLPC Oceania project has been evaluating the Wiki Educator project by the Commonwealth of Learning and thinks it is a very useful tool for use in schools that have deployed OLPCs


The following PDF document was readily produced on the Wiki Educator site and then converted to a PDF file. It is a simple Lesson Plan for teaching teachers about the laptop

Sample lesson plan
