Alert! OLPC educational project is about to fail!

How is this possible? And this is not it ironic, as we continue to OLPC France, we echo the educational progress of this project in the world, especially in this blog!

The failure, paradoxically, when one is on the verge of success, but for various reasons, we imagine that all is won, or that others will take over and lead to a project!

Now we are engaged in educational projects! This implies a duration of action, and participation of actors in and around schools: village communities, communities of teachers, families, children, communities of developers, etc.. The action of each, even at a distance and upstream or in the margins of the classes in which computers are used in education is paramount.

Moreover, software development side, the effort is not weakening, as evidenced by recent announcements:

* Announcement: OLPC software strategy

* Announcing the OLPC OS 10.1.1 final release!

At the other "end of the chain" is also the same engagement, for example, in the news recently:

* Rwanda: Teachers Capacity Building kickoff OLPC implementation in Rwanda

* Uruguay: Ceibal high-school project update

* Argentina, Paraguay: "Con a Procesadora más más rápido no se APRENDE rápido"

* Chile: Experiencia piloto Sugar in Macul

* Etc.. (See Press release on the OLPC wiki France)

These are just examples, but they are indicative of the dynamism of the actions taken.

Therefore, the failure threat when it is believed to have made sufficient progress. Two examples, among the actions of our small association OLPC France:

The project CLIS Mornant

CLIS Mornant

Nosy Komba

Nosy Komba

and debrief preparation Nosy Komba

Each project needs help, your help! For each of these tests be turned into success!

You can find some indication of the potential for contributing to the " Contribute to the OLPC "OLPC wiki France. See you soon!
