Dr Pagelio made an introductory speech to the participating teachers emphasizing the importance of the OLPC project and how the project can help in the delivery of the outcome-based curriculum. The outcome-based curriculum has been introduced and implemented in the country for sometime. After Dr Pagelio’s remarks, Dr Alfred Tivinarlik began the training with an introduction of the whole concept of the OLPC project stressing the core principles of OLPC. The teacher training went on for four days with the first ever XS server connectivity to the internet.

The training program consisted of an intensive training on the XO computer and the integration of curriculum content. This was followed by a practicum component where participants were assessed on their competency in using the computers and integrating it to curriculum.
