Lit Picks and Tech Tips

There is a great project called One Laptop Per Child that tries to provide technology to children in developing countries. They have created an amazingly inexpensive, highly durable laptop that gives these children access to Internet resources and great computer tools to use for learning. For a brief time, starting November 12th, you can purchase two laptops – one that will be donated to one of these developing countries, and one that will be sent to you. Here is the info from their website:

Starting November 12, One Laptop Per Child will be offering a Give 1 Get 1 Program for a brief window of time in North America. For $399, you will be purchasing two XO laptops—one that will be sent to empower a child to learn in a developing nation, and one that will be sent to your child at home.

If you would like to participate in their program, sign up for the reminder email now at http://www.xogiving.org/.
