<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica">Welcome to OLPC! Here is are links to the teachers' manuals from Peru. They are in Spanish, but excellent. It tells how to do almost everything you would want to do.</p>

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica">They also have an excellent web site with a lot of links to interesting things:</p>

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica">Mexico also has a lot of things on the web. Some of their screen shots may be from older versions of Sugar, but their manuals are excellent.</p>

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica">They have also done some excellent training sessions. This link will take you to the page with links to their workshop lesson plans, participant guides, and a short "presentation." </p>

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica">They deal with far more than how to use the XO. There is a lot of other important information too. Probably the 2nd one is the most important as it deals with constructionism and collaborative learning.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"><br></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica">Unfortunately, they are all in Spanish. Here is a suggestion...find a friend who is fluent in Spanish and spend several hours perusing these teacher workshop resources. Take copious notes. Then write your own workshop lesson plan.</p>

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica">Of course, your most useful resource in English will be the FLOSS manuals at:</p>

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica">The ones for OLPC are on the right-hand column.</p>

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica">I hope you will be able to use some of these resources in your project. We really need someone to dedicate some time to get them translated into other languages.</p>
