I'm looking for ways that my organization might work with or through OLPC. Couple bits that have occurred to me are below in ultra-brief format. Input solicited.

1 - Communications mechanism between nearest health care providers and children with mothers who are expecting.

Use laptops to connect health care clinics with the families in OLPC target areas. Poll software to allow teachers to ask children questions, e.g. 'who's mother is expecting', and then pump info to the families through the kids/laptops. Use same mechanism to educate? Establish a 2-way communication mechanism so that health care providers who are too far away for easy visits can monitor and guide the mothers-to-be.

2 - Monitoring & Evaluation Data Collection devices

Turn laptops into data collection devices? Submit survey info from laptops to a site, via email or ftp? USB GPS?
