Somebody is finally thinking of the
children!

The Prophet
Children
Your children are not your children.They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.They come through you but not from you,And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.You may give them your love but not your thoughts.For they have their own thoughts.You may house their bodies but not their souls,For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
-kahlil gibran

An interesting way to draw a circle in TurtleArt
One step forward, wait for one second,
one degree to the right, repeat 360 times
The wait allows you to see the turtle draw
the circle slowly

Mesh Networking
● Mesh does not require central hub-like infrastructure
● Wireless mesh works even when the computer sleeps
Based on an early draft of IEEE 802.11s
![Page 40: Education, Technology, Outreach and the One Laptop Per Child project](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052900/555a7b71d8b42a98568b4a10/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
FOSS: Free and Open Source
● When the project started FOSS was the only option that was flexible enough for this project
● No vendor lock-in on formats● No royalties on redistribution● No discrimination based on fields of endeavor● Scalable global model for software and content
![Page 41: Education, Technology, Outreach and the One Laptop Per Child project](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052900/555a7b71d8b42a98568b4a10/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

Activities, Not Applications
● There are no software applications. The laptop focuses children around "activities."
● Activities are distinct from applications in their focus —collaboration and expression– Abiword becomes Write
– Firefox becomes Browse
![Page 43: Education, Technology, Outreach and the One Laptop Per Child project](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052900/555a7b71d8b42a98568b4a10/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Presence
● Everyone has the potential for being both a learner and a teacher.
● Employs a mesh network that interconnects all laptops within range.– Telepathy framework
● Telepathy-gabble for using a Jabber server across the Internet
– http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Telepathy_Gabble ● Telepathy-salut for p2p/mesh collaboration

Tools of Expression
● The laptop is a "thing to think with"● Principle of "learning through doing"● Constructivist learning
– http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Constructivism
![Page 45: Education, Technology, Outreach and the One Laptop Per Child project](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052900/555a7b71d8b42a98568b4a10/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
A sidenote...
● Remember seeing this in iLearn?
Interesting facts:
ilearn is based on Moodle. From Moodle's site:
Moodle is a software package for producing Internet-based courses and web sites. It is a world-wide, ongoing development project designed to support a social constructionist framework of education.

Electricity and Internet Access● Unreliable grid
– Some times it works...
– ...mostly it doesn't
● Limited electricity– Scheduled breaks
– Battery inverters
● Internet access is expensive– Offline Moodle and Wikislice will be very important
– Offline content will be critical to the project's success (currently an undersold point).
