Brechner has done an almost incredible job, and even though there are excellent teachers there "giving us lessons" internationally, even though there are highly dedicated volunteers, the use of these machines in the classroom is not a solved matter. Even if the most extreme opinions (both ends) are fruit of political interests, it is getting more and more clear that there is a lot of work to be done to make the XOs really a useful feature of the classroom I say we need to focus on what is easy, to gain buy in by the majority of teachers <big>when using the XO in class is easier for the teacher than giving class without the XO, we will have won</big> I may be wrong, and opinions are welcome meanwhile, my article <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.olpcnews.com/countries/uruguay/last_xo_laptop_olpc_uruguay.html">http://www.olpcnews.com/countries/uruguay/last_xo_laptop_olpc_uruguay.html</a> </div> <div class="moz-text-plain" wrap="true" graphical-quote="true" style="font-family: -moz-fixed; font-size: 12px;" lang="x-western"> <pre wrap=""> </pre> </div> </body> </html>
