Re: [IAEP] [support-gang] Physics With the XO (in Spanish) by Trinidad Guzman of Uruguay
Hey Caryl, thanks a lot for the heads-up. Briefly looking over the ToC it seems that this is a very comprehensive book indeed which contains many of Guzman's projects which we know and love. :-) I had previously also spoken to him about a translation to English and also hope that we can organize something. I'd definitely be happy to set aside some hours in April to translate a chapter or two.

He is the teacher who showed us so many wonderful sensors that he made to do experiments with XOs in his science classes. Well, he has just finished writing a book: *Physics with the XO* I haven't had a chance to read it all yet, but it looks like it will be a wonderful resource for science teachers both in high school and even in middle school physical science. It is, of course, all in Spanish. You can see the book at: https://sites.google.com/site/solymar1fisica/fisica-con-xo-investigacion-/fisica-con-xo-el-libro https://sites.google.com/site/solymar1fisica/fisica-con-xo-investigacion-/fisica-con-xo-el-libro I hope there will be an effort to translate it into other languages. As a retired science teacher, I can tell you my students and I would have really enjoyed learning with these experiments. Check it out!

Re: [IAEP] [support-gang] Physics With the XO (in Spanish) by Trinidad Guzman of Uruguay
Caryl, This looks terrific. I don't know Spanish but the illustrations are certainly compelling. In addition to getting it translated into other languages I hope he publishes it at archive.org and makes a bound and printed version at Create Space, as well as EPUB and MOBI versions for the Nook Store and the Kindle Store. He already has it formatted like the interior pages of a book. It would be easy to make an actual book out of it.
