Our topic

• Based on the One Laptop Per Child initiative - OLPC

• What is the OLPC initiative about? What do they expect children to use the internet for?

• How does OLPC change the role of children in their use of internet?

Data collection

• Started learning about OLPC, reading their wiki and institutional website.

• Divided data collection to find related videos, blogs or websites created by children, pictures, countries involved and dreamweaver how-to’s

• Online research + book Classroom in a book. The official training of Adobe.

Our findings• The project is in different stages of

implementation in different countries.

• In most places it is still too soon to see results.

• Children are being encouraged to tell their stories, but still mostly with help from their teachers or OLPC staff.

• Aside from blogs and websites, they also make music, art, videos and pictures, they organize teleconferences and record interviews.

Our site

• Created using Dreamweaver CS5

• Created our own template - inspired in the OLPC’s website

• Layout: top header, two columns -navigation bar + main content - and footer.

• One level of information - no subindex
