Hey,<br>I may be posting ideas that have already been developed, my appologies.<br><br>The other day I was thinking of the activities that are on the XO and what would be incredibly practical to children in the developing world (or the developed world, I suppose). Something I feel we are missing is business education and market forces. There are many arguments that rapid economic development is the only way to alleviate poverty. I don't know if this is true, but we need people educated on these topics.<br>
<br><ul><li>Business/Economic activities<br></li><ul><li>Teach capital/resources/scarcity</li><li>Teach loans and budgeting</li><li>Teach market systems</li><li>Teach markup and value adding</li><li>Teach comparative/competitive advantage<br>
</li></ul></ul><br>Also, it may be possible that people in the developing world are able to earn money through web projects, since they aren't location dependant (granted you can get a computer and internet access). With this in mind an activity on the internet/IT might be useful.<br>
<br><ul><li>Internet/IT</li><ul><li>Teach the structure of the internet</li><li>Web development (html, xml, css)</li></ul></ul>Not sure I want to spearhead these, but I would love to get them out there. Feeback would also be awesome.<br>
<br clear="all">Enjoy,<br>Colin<br>
