Hope you are recuperating from such fun :-)
Question,
are these teacher using XOs as *their* primary tool to access internet,
Facebook, etc?
That would be, IMNSHO, enormously meaningful in their "buy in".
The XO is either a real tool, or else perceived as a "toy" vs. the real
tool that is used by the teachers, obviously with real grown-up
software, such as Windows.

regions from Amazonas. We began the week with a question: "how do you
use XO/Sugar for learning?" It was no surprise that most teachers
answer with, "No sé." Even the few that had had some minimal
experience with the XO answered with mundane themes, such as doing
research on the Internet. We asked the same question at the end of the
week, and although I haven't seen the survey results, I am certain
that the teachers expressed a wealth of ideas around communication and
expression, math, science, and the arts. We also asked the teachers if
and where they hung out on-line. Almost all of them were Facebook
users, so Raul set up a Facebook group,

them to use as a forum for sharing experiences.
