<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Hi Sandra,<div>Thank you. Would you have any time before then? Maybe I could record our session and show parts of it to the class? </div><div><br></div><div>The presentation is meant to give other teachers in the Education Technology and Leadership Masters Program an introduction to the OLPC. It seems most powerful to hear from the participants of the OLPC. While I watched some of the OLPC-SF Conference on 10/23-25, it would be a great opportunity to ask questions of those of you involved directly in the projects.</div><div><br></div><div>If you are booked up this week, maybe you'd be willing to describe your experience with the OLPC. I would love to hear how you contribute, your vision, and how your contribution in the project inspires other aspects of your life (i.e. interpersonal, financial, spiritual, professional, emotional, self-expression, leadership, and other qualities that might have been enhanced by your involvement in the OLPC.) </div><div><br></div><div>I have been doing a bit of research on </div><div><ul><li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">the history of the endeavor, </span></li><li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">understanding the scope of the deployments and the different teams (i.e. OLPC-SF) </span></li><li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">issues that have arisen around the hardware and software and personnel, and </span></li><li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">the future of the project </span>including </li><ul><li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">possible new deployments,</span></li><li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">support for current deployments</span></li><li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">innovations in hardware and software</span></li></ul><li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">explored the olpc-map</span></li><li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I assume there is a best practices framework for some if not all of the aspects, and guess that the details vary for each deployment. </span></li></ul><br></div><div>Looking forward to hearing from you.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks again,</div><div>Paul</div><div><br></div><br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2015 10:23:49 -0500<br>Subject: Re: [Olpc-open] OLPC Video Conference<br>From: sandrathaxter@gmail.com<br>To: burnspn@hotmail.com<br>CC: olpc-open@lists.laptop.org<br><br><div dir="ltr"><div>Hello Paul<br></div> I would love to participate, but I am not available that evening.

<div dir="ltr">Hello from Long Beach, CA<div>In a master's course for California State University Long Beach, I have been charged with presenting information about the OLPC as it relates to digital culture and society. </div><div><br></div><div>The presentation will take place at about 6:30 p.m. Pacific time this November 4th. </div><div><br></div><div>It would be wonderful to get the perspective of teachers and students that are using the technology first hand.
