Project Objectives:
<br>
Alpha testing, debugging, developing and getting "playing" feedback
from an 11-year old<br>

]<br>
<br>
Requests 10 XOs over 12 months<br>
<br>
Project Objectives:<br>
Since we are teachers and not computer experts,<br>
programming our courses will take at least a year. After that and if
we<br>
are successful, we will start courses on other subjects.<br>
Why English? The Bolivian government announced two days ago, the new<br>
teaching program for Bolivia. (This government is a
Socialist-Indigenous<br>
supporter and is very strong now).<br>
All schools in Bolivia will have to change all history books as<br>
“liberal” heroes will be eliminated, replacing them with indigenous<br>
martyrs and every school will have to teach 3 languages: Spanish, an<br>
indigenous “originary” language (guarani for this region) and another<br>
foreign language, preferably English. Laptops will be of great help
as<br>
we can show many other things than through a conventional lesson. If
in<br>
the future we can buy a projector, it will close our idea of future<br>
teaching by being able to show films, videos, etc.<br>
We have been contacted by people who represent the future local<br>
authorities in order to know more about our project and we have full<br>
support from whoever wins.<br>

Project Objectives:<br>
Sugarize GeoGebra to run on the OLPC XO 1.5 laptops under SugarOS. We<br>
already have contacts to SugarLabs (Walter Bender et al.) and they<br>
will help us with Java support. This will involve adaptations of the<br>
user interface of GeoGebra to work with the security system and<br>
journal of SugarOS. Support of collaboration features could be a<br>
follow-up project.<br>
