Hi...<div><br></div><div>Some time ago I played around a lot with Conozco Uruguay. It is really excellent and it could be a wonderful program for teaching both history and geography of any area... if someone could put together a "kit" for localizing it. I could see it as especially useful for history and geography of a fairly small region such as a state, provence. or small country. </div><div><br></div><div>This is a project worth pursuing. It would require loading in a different map specific to the featured region and a set of questions and answers (places... with coordinates) into a basic program. If I had the programming skills I would try it. Alas, I'm stuck back in the age of Basic and Pascal.</div><div><br></div><div>Caryl<br><br>> Date: Tue, 12 Oct 2010 15:47:13 +1100<br>> From: quozl@laptop.org<br>> To: nilupuliamarasinghe@gmail.com<br>> CC: testing@lists.laptop.org<br>> Subject: Re: [Testing] Usage of "Conozco Uruguay" Activity<br>> <br>> On Tue, Oct 12, 2010 at 09:59:30AM +0530, nilupuli amarasinghe wrote:<br>> > I've started using the OLPC XO 1.0 Build 852.<br>> <br>> You mean XO-1 build 852.<br>> <br>> > In OLPC what is being done by the Conozco Uruguay activity?<br>> <br>> OLPC is permitting independent development by deployment teams and<br>> content providers.
