I've just joined the listserve and would welcome<br>advice.<br>My organization (the Center for Collaborative Education, in Roxbury) is<br>planning to work with schools in the South Pacific that have little to<br>no technology, including computers. It's just the kind of environment<br>that OLPC was established for, and, in fact, some of the islands we are<br>looking to work with are listed on the laptop.org web site as targeted<br>locations (e.g., American Samoa) that don't yet have plans in place. We<br>would be eager to move that forward.<br>However, I can't figure out how to get in touch with anyone to follow up<br>on this plan. I've left numerous phone messages on the Cambridge<br>answering machine listed on the web site [(617) 452-5663], and I sent an<br>email to negroponte@laptop.org, which I also found on the web site. No<br>one has responded.<br>Can someone give me a next step, a person to contact, a phone number,<br>anything that would let me try to move forward with this enterprise?<br>Also, I do look forward to meeting some of the people on this listserve,<br>and am interested in attending a training session on the XOs.<br>Thanks,<br>Bob Frank<br> <br>Robert Frank<br>Director, Communications and Technology<br>Center for Collaborative Education<br>1135 Tremont St., Ste. 490<br>Boston, MA 02120<br>Tel. 617-421-0134 ext. 285<br> <br> </pre></body>
