Hi Everybody,
I spoke to Shelly just awhile ago (she is based in Ottawa, Canada) and she referred me to Edwin Santiago who is fundraising for the establishment of the Pendleton-Goldman Learning Center in Bulacan. Based on the information from Edwin's website (http://www.101heroes.org/) the center will be located inside an existing public school. Shelly is one of the donors for the center which shall have a computer room. I will contact Edwin to discuss how we may work together for this purpose. This may be another OLPC school pilot where we can deploy XO in their Learning Center.
Caroline, I will ask Ray Baquirin of APC which going to be OLPC Foundation's lead educational partners to evaluate how we can work together with Innovations For Learning (IFL).
Ray, when you have completed your evaluation, I would appreciated if you can share the information with the group.
Thanks.
Charles

Good Morning:
I would like to to bring to your attention an
exciting project that is
taking place in Bulacan.
On Monday, July 13, 2009 ground was broken to begin the construction on the
1200' Pendleton-Goldman Learning Centre. of a 1200' of the Learning Centre.
This learning centre will be located in Bulacan, Philippines. The mission
of the Pendleton-Goldman Learning Center will:
*
Textbooks for everyday use
*
Reference Book and general reading books
*
Art supplies
*
Sports supplies
*
Computer equipment
*
Audio Visual equipment
It is the goal of the project team to have the learning centre completed
within 3 months.
The purpose of this letter is to inquire as to who I
would speak with in
regards to applying to have the Pendleton-Goldman Learning Centre considered
to be part of the One Laptop Per Child Program?
Edwin Santiago, Project Sponsor, who is originally from the Philippines,
will be travelling to Bulacan within the next 8 weeks to to check on the
progress of the Learning Centre. I would like to arrange a time for him to
meet with you to discuss the vision, goals, and mission of the learning
centre.
Please contact me ASAP, to confirm a meeting with your executive.
In the meantime, I encourage you to visit www.101heroes.org to become
familiar with this exciting project.
Regards,
Shelly Courneya -

Hi,
I know you guys are aware of the need for content when you deploy. Please
take a look at this content and see if you think it will be useful in
the
Philippines. If so, I'd appreciate a +1 on the IAEP to let them know you
need it.
I know you guys also have a lot of technical talent if someone wants to work
on this directly.
Thanks!
Caroline

Subject: An Opportunity to bring vital content to the Sugar/XO world - Needs
technical help.
To: iaep <iaep at lists.sugarlabs.org>, XS Devel <server-devel at lists.laptop.org>,
Community Support Volunteers -- who help respond t <

We have an opportunity to bring a program of K-2 English Reading and Math
content to our Sugar users for free.
http://www.innovationsforlearning.org/software_demo.php
Ignore the teachermate hardware and the $100 a machine price tag. The
concept is we make this available for Sugar for free. So if you have XOs or
a machines you can use with Sugar on a Stick, you can use it for free.
If you watch the Classroom management video you'll see they have aligned it
to major Basal Curriculum programs or it can be used without. It can
differentiate instruction for groups and students. This is vital
functionality. We need to port this to the Sugar world, probably by putting
it
on the XS, maybe as a module in Moodle.
Tomeu has done some work on making the activities work in Sugar, but I don't
think anyone has looked at how we enable classroom management.
Why I think this is important:
- When I listen to feedback from the deployments, they all talk about the
need for content.
- When I see for myself what its like to use Sugar in a school, I think
we need an on-ramp for teachers. This program would be an easy way to get
the teachers to start using Sugar and computers without going very far
outside of what they already know. Its aligned with the major curriculum
programs they are already using. My belief is if they take the first step,
and use Sugar, they and their students will explore further. Too
much
technology sits in the classroom closet. This seems like it would be used by
lots of teachers, not just the most technological ones.
- This could be a model for other nonprofits for how to use Sugar to
distribute content they have created for our age level.
- It would be an excellent selling point for teachers trying to bring
Sugar into their schools.
Please help us find someone (or a team) who has time and skills to tackle
the technical challenge of porting/recreating the classroom management
component.
Thanks!
Caroline
