[IAEP] Chess activities

2011-04-27 Thread Sridhar Dhanapalan 
I came across an article about the educational benefits of learning chess:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-13140772

So I thought it'd be a great idea to include a chess activity on our
XOs. To my surprise, all I could find on aslo were ported GCompris
programmes.

Are there any _native_ Sugar activities that allow children to learn
chess and play with their friends via Sugar collaboration?

The Xo in Uruguay are updated by the user (manually). The user (the 
child) needs to download the image 
 
and flash the XO with a pendrive.

[IAEP] Squeakfest Uruguay - Call for Papers

2011-04-27 Thread Rita Freudenberg 
The official Squeakfest website is now live and ready for you to propose a 
presentation, workshop, or panel.

http://squeakfest.org

The dates for Squeakfest Uruguay in Montevideo are May 26, 27, 28.

The theme for this year's conference will be "How and why to use Etoys in the 
education"  Our overall goal is to show how teachers are using Etoys to teach 
their full curriculum.  Whether language arts, math, science, or more, we hope 
to showcase the many ways Etoys can help teachers demonstrate abstract ideas 
easily.   If you've got experience teaching with Etoys, we'd love to hear about 
it, as would the attendees of the conference.  We're also very interested in 
non-classroom Etoys use, particularly as it relates to OLPC pilots.

We'll be adding more information to the website as it becomes available, but 
for now, the important thing is to get your presentation information to us so 
we can begin to design the program for our three days together. Please complete 
and submit the online form no later than May, 14th, 2011.

Please share this information with anyone you think would be interested in 
either Squeakfest conference.

We hope to see you there!

Take care,
Rita___

are those XOs regularily updated or would it be rather easy to possible  
create a somewhat lasting jailbreak-application?
