[Amerikaner, Erik]

I added this terrific video to my Computer Applications assignment to make our high school students aware of the OLPC Program.

You are welcome to use this assignment.

Hi All....
If you haven't seen this blog and You Tube video from Talat Kahn's and Carol Ruth Silver's OLPC Contributors Program project in Pakistan, you need to check it out! Watch the video (link is on the blog) and then explore some of the creative ways the teachers and students are using the XOs in their school.
This began as a 10 XO Contributors Program project and I was privileged to be their mentor. I did give them some help getting started and a couple of "lessons" via Skype, but after that, they ran with it! Be sure to notice the enthusiastic community involvement that has helped make this project the success that it is.

P.S. Carol and Talat are members of the OLPC SF Community. They are also the ones that introduced many of us (myself included) to the Khan Academy videos. We all learn from each other!

Great job!  Thanks for sharing.

We are planning to do something similar for Hill Tracts.
