Over 500 XO machines arrived in Cambodia in late January as part of One Laptop Per Child's (OLPC) Give 1 Get 1 initiative. Thank you to all those donors in North America who made this possible! These machines have been distributed to several NGOs involved in child-centred learning. These children will be Cambodia's XO pioneers and the first of, hopefully, a growing number of Cambodian children who can learn, share and construct their own collaborative learning community.
The initial batch of XOs has already created a need for the recipients to ask questions and learn more about the XOs. This blogsite is dedicated to answering those questions and linking Cambodia's XO users to the world wide community.
The best link to all XO questions is: www.laptop.org Here you will find a link to the olpc wiki which includes technical advice, an Educators page and new activities to download to your machine. This wiki is community driven and once we all get the hang of things, I hope we can contribute our experiences and ideas to the olpc wiki.
So, please post your questions and ideas here, and we'll try to answer you questions, or point you in the right direction!

The conference was wonderful! I had forgetten so much basic math but being able to DO something with math made me want to go back and study! I hope our students get as much joy out of learning from the XOs as we did from the GoGoBoards!
