Best of OLPC Feedback : a compilation of compelling comments
by sjone laptop went to austria yo my grandson, the other went to North Las Vegas to my “foster grandsons” who have used it daily. just wish one could save school assignments to a flash drive… has anyone been able to do this?????
Yes, find assignments in your journal and drag them to the flash drive icon in the bottom of the frame (and vice versa). We definitely need the ‘tips and tricks’ section for the XO Guide.
our son bought the program last year for his 3 year old, loves it so much we will be buying one for a granddaughter this year. we’ve seen the program on 60 Minutes, have all the admiration in the world for the developer.
The XO is one of the most meaningful items I have seem from the IT industry in my over 35 years of work in it. A great ‘start’ and hope my donated XO machine is used hard till it’s next generation replacement arrives. I do enjoy showing folks the one I was able to get in the G1G1 program too!
I contributed to Give a laptop, Get a laptop last year and took my extra XO to an orphanage in Kenya – the kids LOVED IT!!! I didn’t even know it had video until I heard giggling from the kids and then their teachers as well. It is so versitile, indestructible, easy to use and has so many functions that I am going to do this again. This program is a huge blessing to improve lives in so many areas of the world!!
one laptop went to austria yo my grandson, the other went to North Las Vegas to my “foster grandsons” who have used it daily. Does a person get to choose where the other laptop goes? How does an impoverished community in Canada tap into this program?
Many of the new to Canada families I teach really could use access to the internet site stalfall to help with their children’s reading and many of the remote communities could use such a resource.
You don’t get to choose where the Give laptop goes. If you have a specific school in mind, you can designate laptops in lots of 100 or more; see our Give Many program for details.
