Hi all,

I know some of you have been interested in the $100 laptop project, OLPC
- the children's machine... so thought this might be worth passing on.

cheers

LCA awaits as Blizzard hits Sydney this summer
Chris Blizzard of Red Hat and One Laptop per Child fame will speak next
month at the world renowned linux.conf.au

"kids - especially young ones - learn from each other as much as they
learn from a teacher. If you let kids show each other interesting
things, let them share and work together you'll end up with an effect
that makes teachers more effective and lets kids start to educate each
other."

Seymour Papert has been an important mind in the development of the
education principles they're putting in place.
