As some of you know, I am a middle school teacher and doctoral student working with 150 XO laptops in a set of 5th grade classrooms. My research interest is to see how those devices and the Sugar software impact the learning environment of the classroom.
We were fortunate enough to have Walter spend a day with us yesterday. He spent a session with each our 6 5th grade classrooms, teaching the children some basics of Turtle Art. He also then spent time with the teachers and our superintendent. The day was incredibly powerful and valuable to all of us. At one point, he was even mobbed by students for his autograph! I created a short video of the visit, which you can see here: http://animoto.com/play/2hVwpobfxD4cs1OMSBlDVg Enjoy! Thanks, Walter. Gerald
