Excellent! What grade are your students in exactly (multiple)?<br><br>I'd love to help your class get involved and contribute. What are people interested in? Right now there are lots of Health projects being started. Which is great because it combines engineering (hardware EKG and blood Oxymeter), software to read it, and lots of writing and images to teach people about health.<br>

<div dir="ltr"><font face="tahoma" size="2">I teach computer science and computer engineering at Moira Secondary School here in Belleville, Ontario, Canada. As a school we took advantage of the 'give 1 get 1' promotion, in fact we gave 5 and recieved 5. We
are VERY impressed with the technology, my students are VERY motivated by the opportunity to work with an open source project like this. We will use the XO's for developing expertise in Linux, networking, software development, testing and troubleshooting.
What we would also like to do is make global connections with schools in other countries that are using the same technology, maybe we could even collaborate on creating new activities. The learning opportunities are endless.
