Thanks for the video of kids in action!!! Just like the kids in Peru, they just start figuring it out! I see you got one with an orange X and teal O... They're all different, which makes sense in a classroom full of them. Lovely. Terry can you upload to TeacherTube? Local dist. blocks YouTube and I'd like to show.

I'm still trying to figure how the OLPC G1G1 OX concept plays out when trying to order through a district purchase order for a classroom set. So far, all I've been able to find is the foundation website, but no contact person or email address.

Was any contact information included in the packaging?

I'd see how the Birmingham Alabama school dist accomplished their purchase.

Thanks for the lead, Jane. I'll let you know what I discover.

This is a great video of the XO in action. It's great to see how the kids dive right in and happily work past potential annoyances like the keyboard being so small or "rubbery". Looking forward to seeing what others are doing with their XOs.
