Education Approaches of an OLPC Project
• A core element of the OLPC , is “Learning learning”.
• The OLPC laptops (called the “XO” laptops) are not office productivity tools like Windows computers, but instead are “learning tools”
that help young children to learn.

• The OLPC program is based on the Constructionalist Education theory, or learning by doing. It is also has a strong collaboration learning approach, encouraging students to share their experiences and learn together.

Some ideas for using XO laptops in the English classrooms:
• Firstly, there is information about using the laptop on the laptop.
• You can also go to the Laptop web site using Browse to find out much more information. Go to
• wiki.laptop.org• portalceibal.edu.uy• rapceibal

•1. Literacy improvement• a. Reading skills – Go to Browse and find e-books.
There are many good children’s books here, but more can be found on the Internet as well.
• b. Spelling/Grammar/numbers – Use Speak. This encourages typing skills and improves spelling as the children can hear of the word is not spelt correctly. It also helps grammar. Ask the children to make a conversation with each other. One child can ask “What is 8+9”. The other can answer “17”

• c. Story writing – Go to Write and ask the children to write a story. They could also take a photo of something relevant and past it into the document
• d. Writing – Ask the children to Chat about a story they have read or a project they are working on.
• This will improve their writing and typing skills.• e. Letters – Use the Memory letter game to identify
letters. This can be a shared activity with two children playing to see who get the most correct answers.

• 2. Numeracy• a. Addition – Use the Memory numbers game.
Can be shared.• b. Addition/multiplication etc – Use Calculator
to do sums.• c. Distance – Use the Measure activity to show
distances. See who can guess the distance

• 3. Art• a. Drawing – Use Paint to draw and colour. Children can
draw their friend and make the clothing the• right colour. Hold a drawing competition for the best
drawing of something they are studying at school• b. Drawing - Find drawings and photos on the Internet
