I’m delighted to be a member of the One Laptop Per Child<\/a> Foundation’s Learning Team. The learning philosophy of OLPC and its computer, the XO<\/a>, are an exciting manifestation of my 25 years worth of teaching Logo to kids and teachers as well as my work with “laptop schools” since 1990.<\/p>\n

On May 20th, hundreds of educators, government officials and thought leaders from dozens of countries descended on the MIT Media Lab for a global summit organized by OLPC. Nicholas Negroponte, the founder of OLPC, gave a “State of OLPC” presentation in which he reviewed the organization’s amazing accomplishments and presented XO 2.0. He also explained how the success of the Give One, Get One program made the XO cost $100 in developing countries.<\/p>\n

Several leaders from countries using the XO (the “$100 laptop”) spoke about the need for the XO in their countries, the implementation issues and the obstacles they have overcome. Oscar Becera’s presentation, “The Starfish on the Beach: Why OLPC for the Poorest and Most Remote? and How?” was particularly interesting. Many children in Peru live a 4 day walk from Internet access.<\/p>\n

My old friend and colleagues, David Cavallo and Mitchel Resnick spoke about learning and computing, while the father of the personal computer, Alan Kay, finished the day with another thought provoking discussion of the computer’s unrealized potential in education. Dr. Kay’s talk is highly recommended<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Best of all, these videos are all available for you to watch online here<\/a><\/p>\n

The videos are up to an hour in length and available in Flash and OGG formats. The OGG files are easier on the eyes and larger. If you don’t have software capable of playing OGG files, try VLC<\/a>. VLC<\/a> is GNU free and cross-platform. VLC the Swiss Army Knife of video players. It seems to play anything, including DVDs encoded for another region!
