XO Kickoff Event Music Video

Tech Team Training, Part 2

I wish I could capture the buzz. Twenty 5th graders, our XO Tech Team working together to set up our 120 laptops. The buzz of students engaged and enthused. The buzz of people pressing themselves to get a big job done and done well. The buzz of what comes next.

So, as a way of trying to share the buzz, here are a slideshow and 2 videos which document some of what the students were up to today.

Trust me, though. If you were there, you would have been inspired.

Welcome to the Croton OLPC Laptop Project

Hello.

Thanks to the folks at the Croton Harmon Education Foundation (CHEF) and the Middle School PTA (as well as lots of support from many administrators, teachers, parents, and friends in the district), the Croton Harmon Middle school is beginning a pilot project using the XO Laptops -- the One Laptop Per Child Laptops.

This blog will be a place for us to keep track of our progress and give us a chance to reflect on what's happening.
