Discovering XO

Sometime in the next few weeks, our family is going to welcome an XO Laptop, a new member of the household about which we know little.  Will we learn to understand its personality?  Will it get along well with our peripherals?  Will it be able to make friends with other neighborhood XO’s? I am starting this blog to share our family’s discoveries with other XO users, in hopes that we will collectively find out how to have the most fun, be as creative as we want to be, and learn how to make it the best possible tool for learning. Please feel free to participate.
