No I’m not giving you a hug and kiss. When we found out that Parker would need a computer to help him with his school work, we ordered an XO laptop from One Laptop Per Child. It’s not a perfect computer and can be frustrating. Probably not a good option if you don’t have a programmer in the house. There have been a lot of glitches in it and ours went on the fritz in June. We finally got it fixed by Jeff’s co-worker. (I need to pay him with a batch of cookies)
So today we were doing some errand running and I had it in the van. I planned on another playground stop to compensate the kids. I was fiddling with the laptop while they played since the screen is designed to work in bright sunlight. I took some pics with it. There is a camera built in on the right hand side.Â
And then we had to leave early because someone was in a bad mood.
Right now Parker is playing a memory math game on it. We also have Scratch , an animation program on it as well as music synthesizers, a video camera, recorder.
