Peer-to-Peer Learning
There are many ways for children to learn to use the XO and the activities it offers. One model that has shown great promise is that of peer-to-peer (P2P) collaboration. When students come together to share their experiences with the XO, they have the chance to learn from peers while taking pride in their personal expertise on different aspects of the hardware and software. The benefits of such an initiative go far beyond gaining familiarity with the XO itself – students are also provided with the opportunity to gain self-confidence and develop habits of teamwork.
The purpose of this Wiki to share experiences with P2P learning in OLPC deployments across the world. Please contribute so that we can learn from each other and provide students with the best possible learning experience. Thank you in advance for your contributions!
