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 !

SJ
