Hi Tessa, You're right Cherry on the emoticons, but I love more the idea and word "champion" !:) I absolutely agree on that, that way it gives them great ownership, and it would be easier for them to implement things.
Here's a book from Peru on Sugar activities, for our reference and we can start and can come up with something similar to this, in Filipino setting. http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Sdenka_Salas_-_The_XO_Laptop_in_the_Classroom#.C2.A9_THE_XO_LAPTOP_IN_THE_CLASSROOM This is printable. I'm also sharing the presentation of Caroline Meeks on the the plan that she did for teacher professional development session for Sugar. http://prezi.com/lsznsyp3xqcs/ Cheers, Mafe On Wed, Dec 2, 2009 at 6:05 PM, Cherry Withers <cwith...@ekindling.org>wrote: > Hi Tessa! > > I'm loving those emoticons you used!
