Hi, Adam<br>
<br>
With help from Gerri Light, the students at ggast are going out to
neighboring schools to support the introduction of computing.
Naturally, it is <br>
unlikely that they would transport a projector or a whiteboard as
part of the kit. (I imagine something like Nathan Riddle's
deployment in a bag).<br>
<br>
As I recall, the XO-4 has an hdmi port. That should be a practical
alternative to access a projector (and, likely, a white board).
However, for some reason, <br>
Rwanda is deploying XO-1.75 and not the XO-4. However, if helpful,
perhaps Gerri Light could bring an XO-4 on her trip in March.<span class=""><font color="#888888"><br></font></span></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Great thoughts.<br>I also got thoughtful feedback from Jeff <a href="http://Elkner.net">http://Elkner.net</a> in DC:<br><br><div style="margin-left:40px">"We have Smart Boards in our classrooms where I work, and I've avoided<br>
using them as anything but large projection screens due to the lack of<br>
solid support for GNU/Linux systems. There are supposed to be drivers<br>
available for 32 bit Ubuntu systems, but I found the obstacles to<br>
setting up the software and (even more importantly) finding the<br>
license information required to use it to be not worth my effort."<br></div></div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><span class=""><font color="#888888">

<div>For sure. <a href="http://www.rwandagirlsinitiative.org/ggast/" target="_blank">http://www.rwandagirlsinitiative.org/ggast/</a>
is one exception, where Smart Boards seem to pre-installed

<div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> We have several
Sugar Activities which are designed to enable the laptop
screen of connected laptops to show what is on the
teacher's screen. This is a cost-free alternative to a
projector. Unfortunately due to changes in the
underlying software, these activities do not work. I
would appreciate anyone who could take on the effort to
get these running with the collab-wrapper. Specifically,
there are Watch Me, ShowNTell, and the pair Classroom
Broadcast and Classroom Viewer.</div>
