Can you please speak for exactly 10min towards the end of our 1st hour?
Mike Lee will be our main presenter during the 1st hour (starting
1PM). Leave me a few min too, to explain this insane 6-country
OLPC/Sugarific trip I'm currently on etc -- so techie/teacher/twitter
(movement-building) groups can then begin to form/introduce very
shortly after 2pm,<br>

I'm presenting this for school on Thursday. I could do a version on Sat
if you want, talking about the Learning Goals, how Sugar supports them,
and the ideas on how we might approach teacher training.<br>
<br>
Don't put me on first! There are not more bus slots on Saturday so the
8:30 bus it is for me.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
