It is more of a screencast and done hurriedly to present Etoys for the monthly teachers' meeting. Sandeep and Ryan presented Sugar and XO. I was limited to 5 mins. folks and had to finish this at 2 am in the morning. Needless to say, it has failed to inspire. Will do better next time. :-) <br>

eKindling Content Development Team Member<br><br>P.S. Ryan and Sandeep did we get any pictures and other videos for this presentation by the way? Might be a nice blog post of what the lessons learned from that presentation. <br>

Hi All, <br><br>I neglected to copy the list on this. There's an attachment to this. It is a compilation of projects that I did with Etoys. It's the same projects that I presented on the video for FUSE ( Foundation for Upgrading the Standards of Education). You will need to install Etoys to run these which is pretty relatively easy to do: <a href="http://www.squeakland.org" target="_blank">www.squeakland.org</a> . I was trying to put this in the Filipino context so the fish is actually a bangus (Philippine's National fish). :-) <br>

<br>If you get the chance, please play around with them. I am willing to answer any questions you have an be on a Skype call with you to walk you through it. I am working on an ebook and project for teaching geography with the Philippine map and game and that and I will email the list when it's done. <br>
<br>BTW, Have I mentioned that these can be done by children for younger children with minimal instructions? The projects done by children from all over the world are highlighted in both Squeakland's showcase section as well as <a href="http://www.etoysillionois.org" target="_blank">www.etoysillionois.org</a> <br>
<br>Now close your eyes and imagine Filipino children's work on that website sharing to the world their thoughts and creativity. I personally CAN NOT wait for that day! :-D<br><br>Can you? <br><br>----Cherry <br><a href="mailto:cwithers@ekindling.org" target="_blank">cwithers@ekindling.org</a><br>

<br><br>Hi Caroline,<br><br>I am copying the education team on this e-mail.<br><br>I'm attaching some possible start-up projects done in Etoys that I forwarded to Nigeria (sorry I'm missing the audio for the fish race one..but I was hoping for it to be an example on how to teach phonics). These can be done by older kids for younger kids. There are also several simple things that the kids can do like making their own haikus, word games, or making their own interactive e-books for instance. Tim Falconer has extensive tutorials on getting this started. For references, the Squeakland showcase site includes works by kids in 4th grade from places like Nicaragua and Haiti. Just to show what the kids can do on that level and having English as a second language. <br>
<br>Our main contact in Uruguay is Carlos Rabassa. He's also a volunteer with RAP Ceibal. I am copying him on this e-mail as well. There are several teachers in Uruguay that are adopting Etoys on their lectures and we'd be happy to put Bonnie in touch with them. <br>
<br>Let us know how we can further help with this. <br><br>Regards,<br><font color="#888888">Cherry</font><div><div></div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Nov 9, 2009 at 11:19 AM, Caroline Meeks <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:cmeeks@sugarlabs.org" target="_blank">cmeeks@sugarlabs.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Who do I contact? I am a Georgetown University English Language Fellow working with the Dept. of Education of Uruguay in Uruguay. The very top level of education administration here has asked me to work on a project to develop programs to use the XOs to teach English in 1,000 rural schools. I ́d love to talk with someone!
