A short clip to show how our effort in Jamaica has been growing, one step at a time, with one XO, a few XOS (thank you, Contributor Program) and then some more, and then the idea begins to take root. Those smiles you see are real. So are the math scores. And fototoons. And the kid who goes around the school yard in August Town (http://olpcMAP.net?id=813006), documenting sources of water using Record, for his "Water Cycle" lesson in Grade 4. Or the six year old at Providence Basic (http://olpcMAP.net?id=810009) who has figured out - on his own - to modify Python code in Pippy to make his own version of the games in there.
Kudos to everyone who has helped make this a reality, all the way back to the first meeting on September 5, 2008 at the University of the West Indies, Jamaica. Of course, many are still plugging away and will continue to do so. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMAZlPWCkw4 We're jammin', Sameer -- Sameer Verma, Ph.D. Professor, Information Systems San Francisco State University http://verma.sfsu.edu/ http://commons.sfsu.edu/ http://olpcsf.org/ http://olpcjamaica.org.jm/ _______________________________________________ Marketing mailing list Marketing@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/marketing
