Educator's Workshop(under construction)

Welcome message

Welcome to the Educator's Workshop! When it is complete, we hope you will use this section to help you learn to use the XO laptops in your classroom.

We are including sections on getting started, getting connected, and using the activities. There will also be sections where you can share lesson plans and discuss successes with other teachers from around the world. We will include a special discussion section as well.

This Educator's Workshop will be yoursection. We hope you will take the time visit the site and to share with your colleagues. Bookmark this page! Come back often to see what is new, and please, contribute to its content.
