OLPC Samoa field mission
report<http://olpcoceania.blogspot.com/2010/11/olpc-samoa-field-mission-report.html>
In May 2010, 75 XO-1.0 laptops were distributed to children and teachers in two
primary schools in Samoa <http://bit.ly/c2vOFc> - 48 laptops went to Laumoli
Primary School children and 27 laptops went to Paia Primary. Both schools
are located on Savaii Island. In August, Tom Parker and Tabitha Roder, who
are active in members of OLPC New Zealand and the global OLPC community,
mounted a self-funded mission to Samoa to visit the two schools to provide
technical assistance and assess the deployments. As part of their work at
the schools, they used a grant by the Australian Youth Trust of the
Commonwealth Day Committee of
NSW<http://olpcoceania.blogspot.com/2010/03/commonwealth-backs-olpc-oceania-with.html>
to
buy and install servers and wireless access points. The mission was
supported by Secretariat of the Pacific Community and the Samoan Ministry of
Education Sports and Culture (MESC). Tom and Tabitha's report is a clear and
comprehensive assessment and offers some important recommendations for Samoa
to consider, especially with regards to design and integration in the
curriculum. See the full report
