[Olpc-open] Fwd: Scientific Animations Without Borders

[Barry Pittendrigh]

Dear OLPC,

I am writing you as the Director of Scientific Animations Without Borders
(SAWBO). SAWBO is a University of Illinois-based program focused on
developing educational materials for low literate learners in developing
nations in their own language. We have already developed a series of
animations that might be useful for the OLPC program. All animations are
given out to educators around the world free of charge. If OLPC would be
interested in some of our animations we would be happy to provide them to
OLPC free of charge we would be happy to work with your group to adapt
them to the OX laptops. We feel that our educational content could be helpful
for your wonderful system of delivering educational materials.

A few websites on our program can be found at:
1) A PBS article on our project - http://www.americasheartland.org/episodes/episode_721/smart_phone_farming.htm
2) An animation explaining our project - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjtOHFFJSpc
3) Our full website - http://sawbo-illinois.org/
4) Our website for those will low bandwidth - http://sawbo-illinois.org/mobile/
5) An example animation - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQQycDb2tdY

We would like to explore possible synergies between our two groups. Feel
free to contact me at this e-mail address or at 1-(217)-417-8930.

Regards,
Barry
