OLPC advocates.. <br>We have two great Pilot projects starting this September at August Town primary and Providence Basic, being funded primarily through the generosity of P.A.C.E. Canada. We hope to maximize the 2 weeks that Sameer is here to get these Projects off the ground.. <br>
<br>In addition to the XO technology stuff, we're hoping to mobilize some important collateral initiatives relating to:<br>- Content (Sameer has already shared some of the inetresting developments around the Pathagar Book Server project)<br>
- Teacher training (We're seeking to actively engage both the Early Childhood Commission and Moneague Teacher's Training College in the projects)<br><br>While these projects are being managed through the UWI community, we welcome involvement from all available OLPC interests on this list... I've attached the scope document for one of the projects to provide some additional context..<br>
<br>We'll broadcast a Calendar of activities early next week..<br><br>Rgds,<br>Mlm<br><br><div style="visibility: hidden; display: inline;" id="avg_ls_inline_popup"></div><style type="text/css">#avg_ls_inline_popup { position:absolute; z-index:9999; padding: 0px 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; width: 240px; overflow: hidden; word-wrap: break-word; color: black; font-size: 10px; text-align: left; line-height: 13px;}</style><div class="gmail_quote">

Hello everybody,<br>
I will be at UWI for two weeks starting Monday. Look forward to see<br>
you there. We'll be revving up some OLPC related activities in the<br>
next few days. Will send out updates soon. If you have XOs, get ready<br>
to have these updated :-)<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
Sameer<br>
