Subject: TODAY 5:30pm: OLPC Community Meetup @ Flat Top Johnny's, Cambridge
TOPIC: great/growing OLPC community projects in Haiti, Jamaica, Madagascar &
beyond!!
Get to know some amazing opportunities in our very own North American
CariBEANtown frontyard:
* how easy it is to fly to Haiti for (for as little as $59+tax) to
volunteer with truly great people
* how falling prices and increasing reach of 3G-and-better Internet is
quickly expanding opportunities in Haiti today
* how we organized a Professional Learning Community (PLC) among
semi-rural Haiti teachers+school directors
* how OpenStreetMap presents entirely new real-world learning project
opportunities:
* http://tapTapMap.org
* http://www.learnOSM.org
* http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Ndoiron/OfflineMap
* how English's expanding popularity in Haiti is making Creole & French
"courseware" even more complex than I imagined
* why so many are flying onto OLPC Jamaica next week:
* http://wiki.laptop.org/go/ALEARN_Network
* http://blog.laptop.org/2012/01/11/update-from-olpc-jamaica-in-august-town/
* how difficult + insanely valuable running a school and blogging about
it can be:
* http://BuildingASchool.org
* how you too can post to have worldwide impact
* http://planet.laptop.org
* http://planet.sugarlabs.org
* does everyone realize that famous 1980 "USA! USA!" chant really
stands for UNBELIEVABLE SUGAR ACTIVITIES? Someone *please* finally fix
Wikipedia here:
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U-S-A!_%28chant%29
And everything else you want to ask of special guest OLPC
implementer/photographer Laura de Reynal in person all the way from
Madagascar & Paris!
Myself I'm back from Haiti to Boston suddenly *this morning* and very much
hope to C U/Y'all 5:30pm tonight Wedn Jan 25!
