OLPC Hospitals

I finally got to see one of the XO machines last week in a community of practice meeting and it sparked quite a bit of conversation. Some of the points that came up included… well what happens when they break down? Well it seems that not only are the kids learning about and with what comes off the screen of these little green gadgets, but also about what is behind the screen as well. It seems to fit well with this post from last week and while unrelated to the current posts… in my head there are some odd connections to Downes’ recent post on media and message. Hopefully I’ll get around to getting out of my head how these are all connected.
