[IAEP] why we're all here ?! (Nepal's very special presentation, after 5 years)

[Adam Holt]

1) OLE Nepal's live video presentation of their OLPC/Sugar deployment work
begins 9AM NYC Time tomorrow (Monday, July 8) off this site:

   http://youtube.com/unleashkids

OLE Nepal's Executive Director Rabi Karmacharya will be accompanied by his
Program Manager (Subir Pradhanang) and Network/Systems guy (Basanta
Shrestha) discussing their foundational OLPC/Sugar community deployment.
Catalyzing so many volunteers early on in 2008/2009, as they took on the
very
hardest challenges from day 1 (School Server, deliberate pedagogy
exploration,
electronic library, electrical/networking hacks, political outreach, etc).
It's
time to assess where these many thousands of Nepalese kids heading today,
around this exquisite and challenging learning technology journey, and we'd
love
you to join !

2) Most important I'd ask everyone to submit questions about
http://olenepal.org in advance, either to contact at unleashkids.org or by
Tweeting hashtag #unleashkids.
Community and Deployment are such big and vital words, but what could be
more meaningful that intermingling our half-decade of global deployment
lessons,
keeping OLPC/Sugar's beating hearts so real?  I encourage everyone to dig
into the Nepal story starting @ http://planet.laptop.org and
http://planet.sugarlabs.org, as we're *extremely privileged* Nepal is
opening
a window into their extraordinary experience -- presenting about an hour
on this central topic:

   Enhancing Teaching & Learning with Appropriate Technologies at OLE Nepal

3) Finally a gigantic thanks to the all-volunteer force making these diverse
biweekly live video interviews possible, uncovering difficult reveals on
how we
can all move the OLPC/Sugar enigma forward.  They know well who they are,
but maestro Mike Lee especially deserves the highest recognition--for
actually
driving us all to bring these historical micro-documentaries into fruition.
Thanks Mike-- and perhaps all worldwide will one day be part of Mike's
http://olpclearningclub.org after all =)
