I have one XO which I keep open and ready for use at the place in the computer lab where the kids line up to leave after using the computers (I am a Campus Technology Coordinator in an elementary school). So far all we have done is a little exploring. Sometimes I will find drawings on the screen, other times I will set it up with the Record on and overhear their amazement at the picture on the screen. The librarian at our school also has one, but it came much later than mine (March?, April?). We would like to do some activities connecting from the Computer Lab or Classrooms to the library, but we need to figure out how. I am glad to hear about what you are doing and will be subscribing to and reading your blog! Janice Anne,

I'm such a tourist in my hometown. Hopefully I'll get over there this morning sometime. Yep, I added that session after commenting, but I’m still trying to find my way over to BarCamp!
