630 OLPC XO-1s have been deployed to 35 schools around Greece so far.

The initiative began in early 2009:

The students of the 6th grade of the 2nd primary school in Florina and those of the 3rd grade of the junior high school of Sminthi at Xanthi region are experimenting, on a daily basis, with educational concepts and collaborative processes through the use of XO-1 student laptops. With the financial help of [EEL/LAK] and the coordination of Re-public 45 ΧΟ-1 laptops have been dispatched to these classes since the beginning of the school year. At the same time, the procedures for a pilot order of more ΧΟs are set, since our presentations in conferences and other events always end up with questions from teachers on how they could do the same thing in their own classes. An open call directed to teachers/classrooms/schools:

The possibility for an order of 500 more ΧΟ-1s in 2009 results to an initial open call for participation directed to primary and junior high school teachers. In the next 3 workshops (at Thessaloniki, Athens, and Patras) on what has been done up to now and how the action will continue, approximately 60 people take part (teachers and students) so that a network of directly concerned people is created. In all the schools that sign up, via their teachers, at least one classroom is designed to work with the laptops.

This project includes three modules that aim at the introduction of new tools in the educational process, tools that on the other hand:

- make, through their design and use, the school lesson more collaborative

- invite the teachers, as well as the students, to learn and create through new ways for the diffusion of educational concepts

- the teacher is, always, a central point of reference but not only point of reference in the educational procedure
