<DIV><BR></DIV>Hi all,
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Looking at Sandra's ideas, you could even put the Microsoft Word guide
INTO Etoys itself and then structure ten lessons out of it using the book
function. That way everything can be conserved into one medium rather than
constantly flipping from .pdfs to Internet to Etoys back and forth.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Say for example you created two weeks of material on HIV and AIDS, with
ten 50-90 minute lessons. They could work together along a storyline that
could keep kids engaged. You could use Etoys not only to illustrate complex
ideas like epidemics and how they spread, but you could also have an
all-inclusive lesson that provides written information, visual aids,
interactive games and quizzes and other things all in one.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Some ideas for AIDS lessons, looking at maybe 3-5 grades:</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>HI Jennifer,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I read your OLPC wiki site and
scanned the information on techology and education and HIV/AIDS. This
is very exciting. There are some great ideas here. Games and
interactive activities is where we are also considering expanding
our curriculums this next six months. e-Toys is a great
target for that kind of interaction of children. I'm just starting to
get into the sample e-toys on epidemics.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Our non-profit Small Solutions has an active
HIV/AIDS team working in the field. We might love to contribute to
field testing of your product as well. </FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2> The group based in Kenya, a faith based charity, is in the
process of planning now. Let us know if this is a possibility. I
am attaching the high level design for building HIV/AIDS Curriculum in
modules.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I'll take a look at the
activity link that you sent, and let me know if you are interested in a
field test. We have a couple of possible sites. Most important is that
you get constructive feedback.</FONT></DIV>
