Quick report on today's progress.  I also have this on the wiki.

There is implied (I hope) help wanted on both the technical issues and on
pedagogical ideas and how to implement them.  I'm flying off to CA for a
family event so I will be fairly out of touch but should still be reading
email.

Thank you for your support! The teachers are very excited about the
possibilities!

Critical Path Technical Issues

Our biggest issue is collaboration. We either need to get local
collaboration, jabber collaboration or a local XS working

* Ticket 1014 http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/1014 - Jabber keeps
dying, then it falls back to Salut, that only finds one computer, then
it tried Jabber again, works briefly, dies.

* Ticket 1012 - not collaborating locally


We met with 2 grades of teachers.

2nd Grade

Next Tuesday we will work with the 2nd Graders on their science and social
studies. The theme of the week is responsibility and the environment. They
will be learning about their community and preping for a cleanup of the
local Charles River.

The goal of the first project will be to label a map of where they do the
clean up with what they find during their cleanup.

We have half an hour on Tuesday. After kids get their keys and boot up,
enter their name and colors we will have them go to Turtle Art. We will
prepare maps and preload them on the sticks and show them how to bring them
into Turtle Art. Then we'll show them how to have the turtle label them.
Next week, after their cleanup they can label what they find on the
clean-up.

] 3rd Grade

We are hoping that the kids can create a US version of the Uruguay
geography/facts game. Any ideas on how to make that easy to do? The vision
is they will learn things in class then make them into questions to put into
the game. We will meet with the third grade on Thursday afternoons.
