[Olpc-uk] Teacher Training Preparation - Saturday, 11 July 2009

[Amir Ansari]

Sorry I've been offline for the last couple of days - lost my internet 
connection, turned out to be a faulty modem/router.

I was thinking of going through the Journal, Write, Chat and Turtle Art 
activities - no more than that.  Everything else will be centered 
around those activities: navigation in Sugar, how the collaboration 
features work, etc.

I'll pick something specific from the National Curriculum (haven't 
decided exactly what yet, but preferably not ICT related) and show how 
the activities can enhance that particular area of the subject.

That should be enough for one session - the teachers will be able to 
pick up the rest after that.

I'm available before 5 if necessary.

How are we doing for the initial OLPC orientation?  Does the school 
have a projector+screen, or should we just consider using the large 
monitor in Stephen's office...?
