Re: [IAEP] [FIELDBACK] Etoys
* Cherry Withers cwith...@ekindling.org [100226 07:42]: Gerald, It's definitely a balancing act trying to get them to focus on finishing up something and getting them to explore. Once they realize that they can affect the object by scripts they just want to do everything they can possibly do in one sitting (dragging and dropping tiles in one script window ..then I'm in fire fighting mode). Too much resulted in chaos in my class. Not doing THAT again. I now give them some time to go nuts on exploration then pull them back in to finish a project. Now I'm introducing just a max of two concepts (or tiles) in one 40min. session. Kathleen Harness has really good lesson plans for teaching one concept at a time: www.etoysillionois.org did you mean http://www.etoysillinois.org/ Regards/AmicaLinuxement/Saludos/Viele Gruesse!

[IAEP] new XO-LiveCD
Wolfgang has made a new version available: Version 090308 of the XO-LiveCD is available for download from: ftp://rohrmoser-engineering.de/pub/XO-LiveCD/XO-LiveCD_090308.iso Mirror: http://www.skolelinux.de/download/XOLiveCD/XO-LiveCD_090308.iso You can read the documentation in: ftp://rohrmoser-engineering.de/pub/XO-LiveCD/XO-LiveCD_090308.pdf Mirror: http://www.skolelinux.de/download/XOLiveCD/XO-LiveCD_090308.pdf This release is based on the stable 8.2.1 OLPC build: http://pilgrim.laptop.org/~pilgrim/olpc/streams/8.2.1/build800/devel_ext3/ The XO_LiveCD/USB project provides a sugar desktop for a wide range of Intel based PC hardware including netbooks. The XO-LiveCD project is NOT a new (Fedora based) distribution like SoaS (http://sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick)! This project uses existing OLPC builds which are maintained to run on XO-Hardware. To make these (unmodified) builds usable on generic PC hardware we embed them into a runtime-environment which consists of a recent generic Linux kernel, hardware detection, Xorg configurations and additional startup scripts. The XO-LiveCD is designed to provide an easy configurable Live-System regarding activity selections, language support and installation of additional RPM packages. There are various ways to run the XO live image: - boot it from CD - create a USB pen, e.g. with unetbootin and use it for netbooks - install it on hard disc as an alternate operating system Release Highlight: - many webcams, including most netbook cameras can now be used by activities. Record provides now a lot more fun for children regards Wolfgang Regards/AmicaLinuxement/Saludos/Viele Gruesse!
