    Hi, Adam<br>
    <br>
    With help from Gerri Light, the students at ggast are going out to
    neighboring schools to support the introduction of computing.
    Naturally, it is <br>
    unlikely that they would transport a projector or a whiteboard as
    part of the kit. (I imagine something like Nathan Riddle's
    deployment in a bag).<br>
    <br>
    As I recall, the XO-4 has an hdmi port. That should be a practical
    alternative to access a projector (and, likely, a white board).
    However, for some reason, <br>
    Rwanda is deploying XO-1.75 and not the XO-4. However, if helpful,
    perhaps Gerri Light could bring an XO-4 on her trip in March.<span class=""><font color="#888888"><br></font></span></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Great thoughts.<br>I also got thoughtful feedback from Jeff <a href="http://Elkner.net">http://Elkner.net</a> in DC:<br><br><div style="margin-left:40px">"We have Smart Boards in our classrooms where I work, and I've avoided<br>
using them as anything but large projection screens due to the lack of<br>
solid support for GNU/Linux systems.  There are supposed to be drivers<br>
available for 32 bit Ubuntu systems, but I found the obstacles to<br>
setting up the software and (even more importantly) finding the<br>
license information required to use it to be not worth my effort."<br></div></div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><span class=""><font color="#888888">
