the first OLPC deployment - Nigeria.

I'm not sure if this picture is making me smile ear to ear because of the future of learning it represents for students all over the world (not just in the OLPC pilot countries), or

because the laptops appear already to be a source of wonder and engagement and curiosity for the kids (exactly what powerful learning tools should do!), or

because I can only begin to imagine what kids here in the US will learn from being connected to co-creators and collaborators in Nigeria and elsewhere, and what problems they will solve and new innovations they will develop together...

...but it's the first time in a while that a picture in the news has made me smile.
