Hi, <div><br></div><div>As a teacher retuning to Fiji I'm interested to know if there's anyone in New England with detailed knowledge or tales of how experiments are succeeding, or not, in middle and lower school classrooms with this technology. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I'm especially interested in XO's as John Wood (Room To Read) is in Asia with his library and school programs to promote literacy. However, to me, a problem as vexing in developing countries, as in Fiji, is not just the lack of access to printed hard copy children stories in the native languages, but also the lack of a culture of reading. </div>
<div><br></div><div>How does one first develop a reading culture in a village via the school, and secondarily how is that mission/goal approached with XO's? </div><div><br></div><div>Brooks Kirkbride<br clear="all"><br>
