Hi Sandra,<br><br>I've talked to Mel and Dave Farning about this idea.<br><br>Clearly having reliable software and activities that work will be important to Sugar and OLPC project success. As more and more activities are developed the testing work load will go up.<br>
<br>We would like to engage high school level, service minded-technology/computer clubs and technically savvy service clubs as testers for Sugar activities. The concept is to have a large number of available volunteers that could use LiveCDs, USBs and G1G1 if available, to try out new activities as they become available and report bugs.<br>
<br>We could use help creating curriculum for service-learning that the club leaders could use to get students started. Perhaps some of the Olin students have ties back to teachers leading such clubs in high schools? Would your team be interested in helping with this project?<br>
<br>Thanks,<br>Caroline<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Oct 22, 2008 at 5:19 PM, Sandra Lam <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Sandra.Lam@students.olin.edu">Sandra.Lam@students.olin.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<p>Hello!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>An Olin OLPC team would like to be the <b>Curriculum</b> team
for OLPC. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>We plan on visiting schools that use the XOs once a week for
about an hour to see what kind of activities the children like to do with the
XOs, and which ones they can learn from. From this we would like to
integrate the XO with the material they are learning in school to create activities
the teachers can use in school. This way the XO can be used to facilitate
the learning of all different subjects in school. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you have any questions/concerns, feel free to contact me
(Sandra Lam). Thanks!</p>
