[Olpc-open] [Educators] [IAEP] Peer tutoring initiatives

[salim hayran]

Dear Jennifer,
 
Good morning from Afghanistan.
 
In Afghanistan so for, we have deployed 3950 XO laptops in a close collaboration between the public and private partnership.  Our target grades were 4-6 kids of the primary education.  Based on the philosophy of the OLPC we have covered the total number of kids in each school we have deployed laptops.  
 
Before any deployments we have provided week training for the teachers so that they get familiar with the XO technology and its usability.  Then from each school we have selected two champion teachers for further training sessions so that they become like a master trainer at each school.  
 
The initial result of the XO initiative is outstanding.  We are working on a plan to deploy XO in masses in Afghanistan primary education sector in the near future.
 
Please do not hesitate to contact me for any further information.
 
Best Wishes,

Jennifer,

I manage a deployment of 140 XOs with 5th grade students in a middle school in Westchester County, NY. We trained about 4-5 students per classroom (we call them the "Tech Team"), and they support their teachers and fellow students.

You can read about it here:

If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know.

Best,
Gerald

Good afternoon everyone,


I am a learning consultant currently supporting OLPC deployments in Latin America. I am putting together a document regarding peer tutoring initiatives (available in both English and Spanish) and would like to include more examples from OLPC deployments around the world. If you are aware of advancements in this area, or know someone who might be, I would really appreciate hearing from you!


Thank you in advance for your support,


Jennifer
