Educators, so you want to learn more about the XO computer and OLPC?

Come to theTech Fairat Mulholland Middle School on Saturday November 14. My session is in the 2pm-3pm time slot.

After the my session there will be 12 XOs from the CUELA XO Lending Library available for teachers to check out.

Old Stuff:

Filling in this user page will take a while! Meanwhile, I just want to let you know I am happily participating in the OLPC project as a tech support volunteer. I do rt tickets, especially those needing extra TLC or translation from/to Spanish.

I also am a disaster services volunteer with the American Red Cross and lead hikes with for the Sierra Club's Inner City Outings program.

In my spare time I do a lot of dancing, play in the garden, edit photos and DVDs, travel, try to play various musical instruments, and spend time with my family.

In the summer I escape to Montana where we are finishing a large log home on the Yellowstone River.

Fall 2009 Update:

Caryl Bigenho, AKA "Sweet XO Grannie"

This is me with one of my RoadShow In A Box XOs. If you look closely at the XO screen, you will see my husband, Ed who took the picture. He helps me a lot with presentations and visits to schools with the Roadshow XOs.

Since I started this page, I have acquired more XOs via the Contributors Program and damaged machines which I have been able to repair. I take them to conferences, do presentations, booths and the like to spread the OLPC message in Southern California and Montana. I also lend them out to potential Contributors Program applicants.

The poster behind me is a reminder that I have also participated in 2 book sprints, the Floss Manual sprint in summer of 2008 and the Class Acts sprint in summer of 2009.

I have also been enjoying acting as a mentor for several Contributors Program projects.
