We asked 200 Australian children to each decorate an XO, reflecting their experiences using this remarkable device. The result – 200 works of art as unique as the people who created them.

How to enrol

If your school is interested in becoming part of One Education, Principals can register to enrol now. Teachers can commence training from April 2013 – once each teacher completes this, their class will be ready to receive their XOs and start engaging with the program.

Eligible schools pay just $100 per XO, and this cost covers everything One Education has to offer, from the XO devices, to spare parts, charging racks, and online support. Once your school is involved in One Education, you’ll also be able to connect with a worldwide network of participating schools – in real life, online and via social media.

Say hello to the XO

Not your average laptop

One thing’s for sure – the XO is like no other device you’ve encountered before. Originally designed as a low-cost education solution for the world’s children, it’s a small machine with big capabilities. The XO is designed to inspire and engage children, and allow them to collaborate and connect. It now also comes in two unique designs, the original XO and the new XO-duo.

Sweet software Instead of traditional software, the XO comes with its own unique software called ‘Sugar’ and custom-made Activities. These Activities have all been created to empower and engage children, allowing them to learn through independent, hands-on experience.		Power to the people One Education is designed to be sustainable, and comes complete with everything schools need to run and maintain the program. This includes XO-power racks, which allow XOs to be stored and recharged safely, and XO-repair kits containing spare parts. Learn More

One Academy – where technology meets teaching

Introducing One Academy

To help classrooms unlock the full potential of the XO, we’ve created One Academy – a supportive and inspiring learning framework for XO users. It’s a system that rewards adults and children for learning specific XO-related skills, from the very basic to the very advanced. One Academy is deigned to make learning fun, engaging and rewarding, and to encourage participants to keep adding to their skillset.

How it works Through One Education, participants are encouraged to learn new XO skills. Once they have mastered a skill they collect a badge. By collecting different combinations of badges, participants can achieve various qualifications – and receive goodies to go with them. There are many badges and qualifications to shoot for, so the journey is never really over. In essence, One Academy aims to encourage continuous learning with ongoing recognition.		The benefits One Academy has a positive impact for teachers and students alike. The Academy’s challenges and rewards mean increased engagement and motivation for the whole class. Strong curriculum links help support classroom learning, and participants also have a sense of connection to a vast network of fellow participants.
