Asunto: Re: game / olpc
All : Anthony as been gathering some remarkable content -- drawings
and photos (and poems) from children around the world -- and would
like to see them used, among other ways, in games on the XO.
THAT IS INDEED THE PURPOSE, AS SUGGESTED BY SHARAD...
Please take a look at his site -- artinallofus.com (USE THE
WWW.ARTINALLOFUS. <http://WWW.ARTINALLOFUS.ORG> ORG AS WE ARE ALSO A NOT FOR
PROFIT ;-)
Also see http://www.flickr.com/photos/anthonyasael/sets/
How could you use some of this material in your projects?
Is anyone working on a suitable game who would be interested in
brainstorming how to make these images a central component?
WE ARE ORGANISING SIMILAR GAMES IN SCHOOLS AROUND THE WORLD. THE KIDS SIMPLY
LOVE IT AND GET REALLY EXCITED WITH IT, ESPECIALLY IF THEY CAN GET POINT AND
A LIKE IF THEY HAVE GOOD ANSWERS. NO MATTER WHERE THEY COME FROM OR THERE
AGE, THE GAME OFFLINE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A WINNER. THERE IS NO REASON THAT THE
ONLINE GAME WOULD NOT BE.
Anthony, thanks again for the inspiration. what a fun site!
ALWAYS HAPPY TO HELP !
