Creating a banana keyboard using the #OLPC laptop technology. Endless teaching and learning possibilities!
One of the first activities under our All Children Reading grant was a training workshop on repair and maintenance of the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) laptops that started on January 28th. Some of the participants were youth and staff who have been working with the laptops in our libraries; others include Zambia Library Service staff and IT personnel from other partner organizations. But this workshop also provided IT training for highly vulnerable youth who have found opportunities in our libraries, including girls and boys who have come off the streets and live in the communities of our libraries, seeking support to attend school. We hope that laptop repair will be an important income-generating activity for them, and, perhaps more importantly, give them confidence and enhanced self-esteem.
The workshop was led by Christoph Derndorfer, an OLPC expert from Vienna.

Ellie Tomlinson and Henry Meyers introduced the One Laptop Per Child XO laptops at the first Lubuto Library in February.
Ellie and Henry traveled to Lusaka to show children, staff and library volunteers what the XO laptop can do and how to use it. Since this library primarily serves street children, this was not a typical target group for the 10 innovative laptops that were donated by the OLPC Foundation.
Henry and Ellie's two week training program was spectacularly successful and the XO program has proven remarkably sustainable. The children absolutely love the XOs and are using them to compose music, draw, learn the pronunciation of words, take pictures and – in an environment where internet access is not likely to be available in the foreseeable future – enjoy communicating between laptops using the XO’s mesh technology.

Documents stored online either in the cloud (for sharing and collaboration) or as digital downloads, for example from journal publishers or websites, are much more accessible and easier to search and get hold of compared to books. Books are bound in the physical world, not able to be shared on different devices or stored virtually. Lest we forget the queue for the requested item in the Library.

When providing resources which we require students to read we use PDFs (or other digital documents, ebooks) instead of books to make it easier for students to get hold of the material. This does not mean we prohibit the use of books, indeed we still encourage wider reading, but in order to ensure students receive a baseline exposure to literature our dependency on books has declined.

Unfortunately, inclement weather forced the tournament to come to an early close, as participants left their scuba gear at home.
