Replying to @OLPC
I still have happy memories of the first time @_karora's kids saw an XO, they yelled "it's a kids computer!". My younger kids still love to use the XO-4 and XO-1.75 I have. (The XO-1s have ruined keyboards)

I liked the XO-1's mesh networking and low-power effectiveness. The sonic ranging app was a star demonstration of cooperative use in the world. I replaced one keyboard - tricky but not actually hard.

The OLPC XO-1 technologies spread other places - the display especially IIRC. I'd be curious to hear from educators and students about their experiences.

Raul Marcelo Claure @marceloclaure founded tech company #Brightstar which was the largest Hispanic-owned business in the US for several years. He has used his impact in the tech community to help launch @OLPC , a non profit providing computers to children in need. #hhm

While more than half of the world is now connected to the internet, the digital divide is more than the online/offline binary. To really tackle digital inequality, policy goals must also consider the quality of access people have. a4ai.org/meaningful-connecti…

OLPC did its first project in Miami in 2010. That project introduced new concepts: Partnerships became an essential model that we are replicating across the world. It is nice to add a new project in Miami. Thanks @TROCGlobal for allowing OLPC to benefit youth in Florida.

Así se veía la escuela de Villa Cardal el 10 de mayo 2007 cuando comenzó la entrega de ceibalitas. El liderazgo y la visión estratégica de Tabaré hizo posible construir y consolidar una política pública hoy líder en el mundo . Un orgullo haber sido parte de esta creación.

It is not about the laptop but what children can do with the laptop. No es sobre la laptop sino sobre lo que los niños pueden hacer con la laptop.
