This document outlines an educational pilot program that will provide netbooks to students and teachers across several European countries. The pre-pilot phase involves 10 classes per country from January to June 2010. The full pilot from September 2010 to June 2011 will include 50 classes per country. Teachers are expected to develop pedagogical projects using the netbooks and provide feedback. Support resources include an online community, training, and technical assistance to help teachers integrate the netbooks into their classrooms and evaluate their effectiveness.
