Earth Treasury is starting a project to create digital textbooks and teacher training materials. We will need subject-matter experts on every current school topic, and on all of the new topics that the XO+Sugar enables. For example, I would like to create a folder of minimal TurteArt (sic) files exhibiting the principal concepts of programming, and then files that use those concepts to do something interesting. I then propose to put a narrative together inviting students (including teachers) to discover how to do each of these things, with optional hints, and then explaining the significance of each discovery. Currently I am without an XO, and the Journal doesn't work on Ubuntu, so I am trying to set up a workaround using qemu. I'll send examples as soon as I can. The Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose would like in principle to be a test site, but we have to a bit of organizing first. I have to go down there and discuss funding possibilities with them for a roomful of XOs. > Thanks, > Caroline > > -- > Caroline Meeks > Solution Grove > carol...@solutiongrove.com > > 617-500-3488 - Office > 505-213-3268 - Fax > > _______________________________________________ > IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!) > IAEP@lists.sugarlabs.org > http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep > -- Silent Thunder (默雷/धर्ममेघशब्दगर्ज/دھرممیگھشبدگر ج) is my name And Children are my nation.
