Marilyn Williams and I met for an XO playdate on January 18. She has one school board member Jim Torrey purchased through the G1G1 campaign. We're already plotting an inservice session... stay tuned. Tom and Mark, would love your ideas for this.

This morning we wrote a collaborative story, solved some navigation questions, and discussed this emerging small computers phenomenon.
