Goodness. I knew somebody's going to ask me that. It is more of a screencast and done hurriedly to present Etoys for the monthly teachers' meeting. Sandeep and Ryan presented Sugar and XO. I was limited to 5 mins. folks and had to finish this at 2 am in the morning. Needless to say, it has failed to inspire. Will do better next time. :-)
But for your viewing displeasure...here it is..your moment of Zen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrRgaLJ0Ed8 Enjoy, Cherry cwith...@ekindling.org eKindling Content Development Team Member P.S. Ryan and Sandeep did we get any pictures and other videos for this presentation by the way? Might be a nice blog post of what the lessons learned from that presentation.
