a constructive thought

[Antoine van Gelder]

The fact that the XO (or any other computer made in the last few years 
for that matter) does not need a formal curriculum for kids to benefit 
greatly does not need to present an obstacle when educators and parents 
express concerns as to where curriculae will come from.

We may all grok that the kids aren't going to need much teaching when 
presented with this tool but educators and parents still need help when 
we're collaborating with our kids on their learning because being a 
grownup means already having forgotten too much of our own childhood to 
get by without at least a bit of structure!

Given that we need to address this problem... for starters, how 
difficult would it be to arrange permission for the some of the works of 
the great educators who have poured so much of their lives into the 
dream of the XO to be allowed to be shipped in electronic form as part 
of the XO distribution ?
