I'm now registered at ck12, have watched the introductory video, and been browsing ck12 with my desktop just incase the iPad was getting the thinned edition not showing all the options — cool btw that epub (and PDF) format is provided for offline iBook support, have downloaded some books to test and will also try them in a Sugar's Read activity version with Sayamindu's epub support.</div><div><br></div><div>Still no luck on finding specific licenses/attributions for a given image. Hovering over an image does give a unique image reference so perhaps there is a way for searching for specific image details. Example, I'd like to take say, a full skeleton image, perhaps vectorize it if needed for resolution independence, remove the labels, and then use it in a quiz activity, and/or as image material for children to use in an activity to build their own content/narrative (likely with EToys, or perhaps Write).</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>--Gary </div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Jul 11, 2010 at 12:42 AM, Gary Martin <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:garycmartin@googlemail.com"><a href="mailto:garycmartin@googlemail.com">garycmartin@googlemail.com</a></a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br><br>For content you might try searching the NSDL (National Science Digital Library) and PBS Teachers Domain. Anyone else have suggestions on where to find open content on anatomy?<br><br>If you find good stuff lets think together about the best way to adapt them to Sugar and your location. It will be an excellent case study.<br>

Hi Arjun!<br><br>I do remember you.How are you ? <br><br>I don't know if there are any ongoing efforts on an Activity around human Anatomy, but you could start by making a wiki page in which you could generally outline your initial thoughts and ideas on the Activity - how it would like like, what content areas you hope to cover etc.<br>
<br>There is also an SugarLabs (<a href="http://sugarlabs.org" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://sugarlabs.org" target="_blank"><a href="http://sugarlabs.org">sugarlabs.org</a></a>) Activity Team being developed, so they would be able to give some guiding inputs too!<br>
<br>Hope the above information helps to get started. Let me know your thoughts.<br>

Long time no talk!<div><br></div><div>I dont know if you remember me but I am a student at IMSA and I'm interested in OLPC Health. Currently I'm at the Boston Headquarters working on a deployment initiative to a local school (6th grade class). Their curriculum requires a study of anatomy so I am very interested in contributing to an Anatomy educational activity. Do you have any ideas or have you heard of anyone willing to continue work on the Anatomy activity?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thank you so much and I hope to hear from you soon</div><div><br></div><font color="#888888"><div>----Arjun</div>
