I am intrigued by the newly announced web repository of "Our Stories": a collaboration between One Laptop per Child, UNICEF, Museum of the Person (Brazil) and Google. My understanding is that this site exists to share personal stories from around the world - hopefully getting 5 million individual stories. This sounds like a very engaging, illuminating resource for education.
What do you think of this? How about sharing your story or your student's stories or their interviews with significant people in their life. There is a guide for students and adults to assist in this process. The laptops from OLPC will have the capability to capture these stories digitally and then post them to the site. (this is still being implemented it seems).
Listen, Learn, Live... (seems to be their tagline) not a bad life philosophy!
