[OLPC-Games] [OLPC library] [Activities] Art In All of Us -- OLPC

[Idit Caperton]

To Team OLPC, 
Re: "I would love to see this available as an activity on the OLPC XO."

Well, let's think:
What is the real learning value of playing this quiz activity vs. producing
and programming one like this?
Do we really care about the answers to the quiz?

I believe that when added to the activity library and manual it should also
provide the python code, with insights on how to make one, and exchange it
among students from different countries, different topics, etc.
Then, the engine to observe who answered what is probably more interesting
to program then to use...

Cheers, Idit.
