<br><div>In addition to OLPC, I develop some tools for Mozilla's vibrant new WebMadeMovies project. As you watch a video, associated content such as maps, Wikipedia, and Twitter feeds appear on the page to add information about people and projects on screen. A demo is online here: <a href="http://webmademovies.etherworks.ca/popcorndemo/" target="_blank">http://webmademovies.etherworks.ca/popcorndemo/</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>This project was a success with high school students in California: <a href="http://brettgaylor.tumblr.com/post/3526122151/web-made-movies-at-bavc" target="_blank">http://brettgaylor.tumblr.com/post/3526122151/web-made-movies-at-bavc </a>and this weekend it's coming to NYU's Tisch School of the Arts for developers and filmmakers to try out. I think this means a lot to teachers, too, because instead of watching and recording videos, this project focuses on linking the viewer to the bigger picture. The moment a video makes you ask "carbon sequestration, what's that?" or "does that project have a website?" there can be a link. Not everyone's going to click, but it's a lot more effective than putting a URL on screen.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I will be flying to Uruguay to work with OLPC, so I'm not planning to be in NYC, but we can collaborate online. If you would like to take part, let me know and I can get you in touch with the project leadership. A number of project contributors want a solution for teacher videos such as <a href="http://youtube.com/canalceibal">http://youtube.com/canalceibal</a> , so it'd be great to send some teacher representatives their way.</div>
