Hi, Adam
The model I have been pursuing is that the library contents are checked
out by the child - i.e. copied to the Journal on the XO. There is no
need to be connected to the school server to read a book. The same
approach applies to media (audio, image, video).
Naturally, the child will have to erase some library items from the
Journal from time to time, particularly with XO-1.
The schools I am working with have no access to the internet so keeping
the server on to share internet access is not needed.
There are technical issues to provide this capability for Wikipedia
articles and some work will probably be needed to enable download of
Khan Academy videos (beyond the Arithmetic and Pre-algebra group which
is supported by the Learn Activity). I suspect some work will be needed
for the maps. Currently Nick Doiron's Map Activity expects to be online
to Google Maps or Open Street Maps and to build map-packs on the XO. In
addition, Braddock has had pre-render the tiles. I don't yet know what
impact this has on the Map Activity.
