Tiffany & Steve of the Digital Literacy Project (www.DigiLiteracy.org)
will be presenting DigiLit's recent [January 2010] XO deployment in
Managua, Nicaragua.  Independently from OLPC's larger efforts in the
region, seven members of the Harvard team set up a computer lab at
the Nicaraguan Deaf Association, adding deaf students to the One
Laptop per Child equation.  The team will talk about plans for
translating XO laptop tutorials into sign language, as well as
curriculum development.  Please join us to consider how the XO
can accommodate different styles of learning!

Check out the attached PDF intro and please join us In Person right
across the street from MIT's campus:

     Sunday February 21
     4PM, Boston Time/EST

     1 Cambridge Center
     Cambridge, MA  02142

All Welcome, but advance RSVP REQUIRED (holt @ laptop.org).  You will
have the choice of attending in person or by telephone -- with
PowerPoint/PDF provided in advance and our US phone number (free if
