Chapter Abstracts (entire directory)

Abstract
One Laptop per Child's mission is to create educational opportunities for the world's poorest children by providing each child with a rugged, low-cost, low-power, connected laptop with content and software designed for collaborative, joyful, self-empowered learning. When children have access to this type of tool they get engaged in their own education. They learn, share, create, and collaborate. They become connected to each other, to the world and to a brighter future.

OLPC, in conjunction with the Sugar learning platform, is currently delivering the education dream to over one million children in 19 languages and 31 countries. Many locations require non-English based systems, may rely on non-traditional power sources such as solar, and work on offline network technologies akin to sneakernets. This chapter addresses the spectrum of pedagogy from instructional to constructivist environments and how OLPC is addressing these needs around the world. This chapter also examines the power and connectivity constraints in a framework to present and explore educational challenges in both most and least developed nations.
