[sugar] Tentative talk schedule: Nov 19

[Yamandu Ploskonka]

I'd really want us to discuss matters related to Teacher Training.  I 
have signed up as "speaker", but actually I am sure there are many 
others who know more about what works in that field, and what doesn't, 
and it would be good to document that.   I can at least offer some 
questions...   Michael's Uruguay would be related?  Greg D's Marketing 
also fits under the general concept of dealing with wetware.

Also, internationalization and such issues is a big interest for me, so 
I definitely would want that matter to get its time.

Content is something I am also pursuing, now through OLE.org, I will be 
meeting with them while in Boston.  Ed Cherlin had something on 
textbooks  I also would want to learn more about content delivery and 
e-learning platforms, something that has been raising much interest in Sur.

I will be in town form the evening of the 15th to the afternoon of the 
20th, and except the 17th when I have  a meeting with OLE that has not a 
time set yet, I would enjoy all opportunities to get to meet y'all, 
learn more about what's going on, network, and such.
