5 XO laptops hit the road

On Friday I send home 5 XO laptops with my third graders. They are to return
to the classroom on Monday of course, but it's nervous time... At a value of
$400/each, well, that's a piece of trust I have never extended before. The reason for doing this is simply that I'd like my families to have a
chance to see/feel/experience these wonderful computers. I've not been able
to use them as often as I'd like in class...

So I believe in my kids, and I have faith in their responsibility. Seems
like everyone wants to take one home over the weekend (not surprising), so
we had to have a session of "pick a number" to settle things. Luckily there
are two more weekends... More later...
