OLPC Tuvalu

In 2010 a workshop was help in Funafuti for the Tuvalu Education Department, funded by ITU and SPC, to develop a country programme for OLPC.

These pages describe the workshop outcomes.

in addition, a key resource was developed, the OLPC Oceania Workbook for Educators (David Leeming). This is available at the link below.

= OLPC Trial Deployment Plan, Tuvalu, January 2010 = This deployment plan was developed collaboratively during the workshop. It is a living document and a work in progress. The Education Department will review it and when it is complete, it will be fixed as a working document.

The OLPC laptop collaborative features were used in the workshop to assist with the development of the plan. The picture above shows a group of participants collaborating in a Write activity. It was very useful to integrate the XOs into the planning process and learn the laptop skills along the way.
