Cornell OLPC: When West Meets West

http://cornellolpc.blogspot.com/2009/07/when-west-meets-west.html

Wednesday, July 22, 2009. When West Meets West. Shortly after we opened the Record activity and began our class time for the day, we heard some noise through the open windows. It was a volunteer organization of foreigners trying to make Senegal a better place. Their idea is to plant trees across the country. James reports that they have planted about 10,000 so far. Why do they need trees here? Shouldn't we give them food first? Why do foreigners have to run this project? Is Mboro the right spot? We are t...

Cornell OLPC: memorize to Memorize

http://cornellolpc.blogspot.com/2009/07/memorize-to-memorize.html

Thursday, July 16, 2009. As we walked away from the school around 9pm yesterday I was still unsure of exactly what was going to happen today. I knew that we had chosen to use Memorize as our activity for the day, but I wasn't sure how well the teachers would understand the application, or whether they would perceive it as useful.

Cornell OLPC: June 2009

http://cornellolpc.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html

Tuesday, June 30, 2009. Some interesting observations that I've made (obviously from a western perspective) about Senegal:. The entire place shuts down from 1pm to 3pm. Without exception, people take a 2 hour long lunch break. It's really hard to do anything when there's no air conditioning and the humidity is like 70-80%. Thursday, June 25, 2009. On Tuesday the director of the school had cable run from the office to the two independent buildings. Each building has three classrooms and we will run ca...

Cornell OLPC: May 2009

http://cornellolpc.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html

Tuesday, May 26, 2009. Notes on the Learning Setup. When we deploy to Mauritania, we plan to hand out 100 laptops to 100 kids. (1 laptop per student, not 100 laptops per student :P ) To make sure that their internet situation is taken care of correctly, we are in contact with Mauritel. We are sure that once we get to Tidjikja we will have to change some aspects of our plan because of delays or obstacles, but we hope that with all these people helping us we can get the laptops in the hands of these kids!
