<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div>Thanks Steve,</div><div><br></div><div>Great stuff. Would direct you to Amir Ansari who has probably put the most time into teacher training so far, though Peter Robinson and Martin Dengler woud also be good resources.</div>
<div><br></div><div>At this point it is an all parties involed process given the timelines, however please do step in.</div><div><br></div><div>I mentioned Emma as another good contributor given her background in teacher training and technology.</div>
<div><br></div><div>As well Dom has been working on the Web side to incorporate a teacher section in the OLPC (UK) website and Wiki site as they come together - another point of contact.</div><div><br></div><div>Could I suggest a meeting (in person or by IRC) over the weekend to review, discuss, and assemble things in advance of our orientation session on the 14th.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Further thoughts on your questions are listed below.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for reconfirming and stepping forward. </div><div class="im"><div><br>On 2009-07-08, at 11:32 PM, Steve Berryman <<a href="mailto:steve@berryman.org.uk" target="_blank">steve@berryman.org.uk</a>> wrote:<br>
