1) working out how top open it(!). i got there in the end and it seems
obvious now. Martin had a good laugh at me while i tried to figure it out
though
2) understanding the various buttons and what they did (and didnt) do.
3) getting it to connect to my home network. wpa and the build on the XO i
have dont seem to play nice! possibly not an issue with the ones we have for
the teachers though
4) figuring out all the activities. some seem obvious - write, record, some
of the game ones. some are a little more tricky (although im sure there are
instructions for them somewhere that i didnt bother to look up).

just a few thoughts i had.

Any plans to reschedule this meeting? if not (or even if so!) I was wonderi=
ng which activities people were thinking would be best to demonstrate to th=
e teachers first? Is there any sort of structure in place yet for the first=
 session? 
 From the short time i&#39;ve had to play with an XO the main &#39;issue=
s&#39; i&#39;ve had (if that&#39;s what you want to call them!) are: 1) =
working out how top open it(!). i got there in the end and it seems obvious=
 now. Martin had a good laugh at me while i tried to figure it out though<b=

2) understanding the various buttons and what they did (and didnt) do. 3=
) getting it to connect to my home network. wpa and the build on the XO i h=
ave dont seem to play nice! possibly not an issue with the ones we have for=

4) figuring out all the activities. some seem obvious - write, record, some=
 of the game ones. some are a little more tricky (although im sure there ar=
