Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
We are working on setting up a course about ICT4D at the
Free University of Amsterdam (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.vu.nl" target="_blank">www.vu.nl</a>).
The idea is to train the students on this matter, spend a
significant amount of time on education topics and the XO,
and with the best students establish a team to take care of
XO deployments. Progressively, contacts are being
established with experts in relevant topics. We are also in
touch with a school in Peru that received some XOs but no
training on how to use them - as a result, they are not
used. Our first goal will thus be to go there and help them
making the best out of their devices.<br>
<br>
For this, we need to have some teaching material to be used
there and we also need some material to teach our students,
who will in turn teach the local teachers ;-)<br>
We found some pointer for the former but not much for the
later. Would you have something to recommend?<br>
<br>
Besides, it would be handy to have some XOs for the course
in Amsterdam. Shall we make a proposal through the
contributor program or is there a more appropriate way to
emit such request?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Christophe<br>
<br>

<br>
I wrote this book specifically for teachers and students so
they could learn everything the XO can do for them that
involves free e-books. The XO is much more than an e-book
reader, but using it that way might be an easy way to
start. Nobody questions the value of getting thousands of
books for free.<span style="color:#888888"><br>

If you want to talk to some people in Peru about the
curricular<br>
materials provided by the government and some explorations
of adding<br>
to that set of materials, you should probably reach out to
the<br>
Peruvian Sugar community via the somosazucar list (in
Spanish is<br>
typically best).<br>

As for getting XO laptops, a Contributors Program
application or<br>
finding a European XO lending library (OLPC France?) seem
like your<br>
best options.<br>

Hi Cristophe<br>
<br>
Can I suggest you talk with the Australian crowd? They have
some good<br>
resources as they do teacher training and have a Moodle site
with some<br>
courses that might suit.<br>
<br>
Kind regards<br>

Many years ago (3 or 4?) I downloaded some great
teacher training materials from Mochilla Digital. They
included units on constructionism and project based
learning, which really should be considered for
inclusion in any training program for the XOs as many
teachers have no experience with them. </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Some of the materials got lost in
my hard drive crash last year, including the one with
the schedule for a 3-day workshop for teachers that
was very well planned. It included, among other
things, having the teachers participate in projects
done via constructionism and PBL to give them an idea
of what they are and how they work. It no longer seems
to be available. However, I do have a pdf of one of
the guides covering collaborative learning and PBL. I
will attach it to this email. Of course, it is all in
Spanish, but Christoph shouldn't have any problem with
that! <img moz-do-not-send="true" id="_x0000_i1026"

Thanks, I was aware of your very nice book about making
sugar activities but missed that one.<br>
If I remember correctly, Sameer made an e-book server using
a plug PC.<br>
Is there any connection between your book and these project?<span

I wrote this book specifically for teachers and
students so they could learn everything the XO can
do for them that involves free e-books. The XO is
much more than an e-book reader, but using it that
way might be an easy way to start. Nobody questions
the value of getting thousands of books for free.<span

Christophe,<br>

I wouldn't say there is a connection, exactly. I describe a
bunch of ways to publish e-books including having your own
server, and several ways of doing that. I think that
Sameer's book server used Pathagar, which I describe:<br>
<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://en.flossmanuals.net/e-book-enlightenment/the-pathagar-book-server/"
target="_blank">en.flossmanuals.net/e-book-enlightenment/the-pathagar-book-server/</a><br>
<br>
My book had a working title of "Everything You Always Wanted
To Know About E-Books* (*But Were Afraid To Ask) which is a
joke that the target audience will be too young to get. I
do try and describe everything you could possibly do with an
e-book. For instance, there is no reason that students in
Peru could not write and publish their own books and sell
them on Amazon, either as e-books or as printed books using
CreateSpace. The barrier to entry on this is absurdly low.
If more teachers and students understand the material in my
book it could change education. I say this not to praise my
own work but to point out that there are untapped resources
out there that teachers and students need to know about.<span

Hi Elise,<br>
<br>
My name is Christophe Guéret and I'm a researcher working at
the Free University in Amsterdam. The research group I'm in
is doing research in Knowledge Representation and Reasoning
techniques, my specific areas of interest include the
publication of Linked Open Data and the related impact on
Development.<br>
In late 2010, I proposed a contributor project named
"SemanticXO" whose goal is to investigate how Semantic Web
technologies, and in particular Linked Data principles,
could impact the features of Sugar. Parallel to this, I
tried to bring this as a research topic and got some more
colleagues joining me in this initiative. We now have some
visibility and a small group is busy working on Linked Data
for resources constrained contexts (such as an
Internet-less, or almost, mesh of XOs). <br>
<br>
You can find more information about SemanticXO there:<br>

I'd be happy to flood you with more links about SemanticXO
or our other projects related to ICT4D if you want ;-)<br>
<br>
This mail I sent was related to another project for the VU.
Beside this SemanticXO work, we would like to actually do
something concrete and help some schools we are in touch
with. We are thus setting up a course to train students with
the goal to have a local team able to take care of
deployments.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Christophe<br>

Thanks, I was aware of your very nice book about
making sugar activities but missed that one.<br>
If I remember correctly, Sameer made an e-book
server using a plug PC.<br>
Is there any connection between your book and these

I wrote this book specifically for teachers and
students so they could learn everything the XO
can do for them that involves free e-books. The
XO is much more than an e-book reader, but using
it that way might be an easy way to start.
Nobody questions the value of getting thousands
of books for free.<span style="color:#888888"><br>

everyone,<br>
<br>
We are working on setting up a course
about ICT4D at the Free University of
Amsterdam (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.vu.nl"
target="_blank">www.vu.nl</a>). The
idea is to train the students on this
matter, spend a significant amount of
time on education topics and the XO, and
with the best students establish a team
to take care of XO deployments.
Progressively, contacts are being
established with experts in relevant
topics. We are also in touch with a
school in Peru that received some XOs
but no training on how to use them - as
a result, they are not used. Our first
goal will thus be to go there and help
them making the best out of their
devices.<br>
<br>
For this, we need to have some teaching
material to be used there and we also
need some material to teach our
students, who will in turn teach the
local teachers ;-)<br>
We found some pointer for the former but
not much for the later. Would you have
something to recommend?<br>
<br>
Besides, it would be handy to have some
XOs for the course in Amsterdam. Shall
we make a proposal through the
contributor program or is there a more
appropriate way to emit such request?<br>

Christophe<br>

Yes, let's move to IAEP, it also seems the conversation

<p class="MsoNormal">If you want to talk to some people in
Peru about the curricular<br>
materials provided by the government and some
explorations of adding<br>
to that set of materials, you should probably reach out
to the<br>
Peruvian Sugar community via the somosazucar list (in
Spanish is<br>
typically best).<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Many years ago (3 or 4?) I
downloaded some great teacher training materials
from Mochilla Digital. They included units on
constructionism and project based learning,
which really should be considered for inclusion
in any training program for the XOs as many
teachers have no experience with them. </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Some of the materials got
lost in my hard drive crash last year, including
the one with the schedule for a 3-day workshop
for teachers that was very well planned. It
included, among other things, having the
teachers participate in projects done via
constructionism and PBL to give them an idea of
what they are and how they work. It no longer
seems to be available. However, I do have a pdf
of one of the guides covering collaborative
learning and PBL. I will attach it to this
email. Of course, it is all in Spanish, but
Christoph shouldn't have any problem with that! <img

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Thanks a
lot! So, it seems we should have at least a part about
constructionism and project based learning in our
curriculum. Then, our students will be able to explain
what this notions are about to the teachers and help
them create courses that fit these principles. Sounds
good, and we can surely re-use some of the content in
that PDF (once we manage to read it and translate it to
Dutch ;-) )<span style="color:#888888"><br>
