 On Sugar.  Our hope all along was that we would build a giant semi
 automated aggregation tool that would make a giant video/text database that
 would work in Sugar.  We're much closer than we've ever been to opening up
 for crowdsourcing.  If you know some folks at Sugarlabs, we definitely would

  You do a good job outlining the problem.

  Even with bandwidth, the Browse activity is just not that great (at

  least on

  the XOs) for streaming video.

 

  An activity based on Grilo could be optimized for this use case:

 

  http://blogs.igalia.com/itoral/2010/02/10/grilo/



 Grilo would not help with the bandwidth problems as much as

 it would help with allowing teachers organize the multimedia

 contents and simplifying the development of an activity

 focused on providing structured multimedia content to

 students.



 Grilo abstracts the location of the actual video feeds,

 which could then be stored on Youtube, some local

 streaming server, on a network share, usb storage,...

 anywhere, this would provide quite a lot of flexibility

 to teachers. Also, activity developers would not have

 to care about where the video file really is.



 Teachers would be able to organize the contents they are

 interested in so that this multimedia content can be browsed

 easily both by teachers and students. Also, teachers

 would be able to add metadata to the video files (again,

 no matter where the actual file lives), like summaries

 of the contents, hints to understand the video, additional

 work or other related content. All this information could

 then be grabbed by an activity and present it to the

 student appropriately, enriching the learning

 experience.

 Challenges to using YouTube Resources:

 YouTube is blocked by the district

Get someone else to download videos, and put them on the school
server, or provide them on USB keys.

 No internet access

As above. An alternative approach is to fund Internet access through
microfinance, taking advantage of the business opportunities that
Internet opens up.

 Bandwidth if everyone is watching a video at once

Collaboration should allow one XO to download, and share with others.
Otherwise, cache on server.

 Workflow/Classflow challenges how do we get the kids watching the video we
 want them to watch and doing the work before and after to make it a learning
 experience.

Lesson plans. Yes, we need thousands of lesson plans.

 Legal issues, what is and isn't fair use of the a YouTube resource?

Ask source to license under CC, or redo in a different version. The
ideas are not subject to copyright, just the expression of the ideas,
meaning words and images. Get children to make their own versions as
homework, once they understand Record, Scratch, and sufficient subject
matter.

 I think Gerald is right, we need a general way to help Sugar Teachers use
 YouTube resources.
 Can people help me brainstorm?
 Challenges to using YouTube Resources:

 YouTube is blocked by the district
 No internet access
 Bandwidth if everyone is watching a video at once
 Workflow/Classflow challenges how do we get the kids watching the video we
 want them to watch and doing the work before and after to make it a learning
 experience.
 Legal issues, what is and isn't fair use of the a YouTube resource?

 Caroline,

 Something else that may be worth considering is the development of an
 activity like Info Slicer, where teachers can provide annotations for the
 videos, and/or prompts for notes or reflections.

 Anybody know about this? I wonder whether he would be willing to let
 us adapt his materials to laptops.

 Good idea!  What ideas do you have about how we would adopt it?
 We could start by asking him if he would make them CC license. I'm
 traveling to the Bay Area next month. If we can get some good ideas I'm
 happy to maybe team up with Cherry take him out to coffee and ask.
