First week of training

This week and next, Priyanka, Bryan and two teachers from the Vutakaka school are in Kigali for OLPC's training. They will be learning about the XOs, activity based learning, and planning for their deployment. Back in the States, we are brainstorming about the best ways to introduce the laptops to the community of Takaungu and to conduct teacher training. Breona will be heading to Takaungu as Priyanka and Bryan are returning at the beginning of August. She will be able to pick off where they left off and help to ensure the sustainablity of the program. Emma will be in the village for the months of August and September, along with another East African Center (EAC) intern, Kris, assisting with integrating the laptops into the school's ciriculum and Jen will fly in the winter, spendng a few months handling any issues that have come up by then and possibly bringing a set of 30 new laptops with her for the incoming class of students!
