Learning Shapes with the Turtle
On Monday 9th and Wednesday 11th of July 2012, we had two Turtle Art sessions with the children of Class 4 at Our Lady of Merces High School, Merces, Goa, India. Class 4 in this school has two divisions, each with around 55 children, so the two sessions were necessary for us to cover the whole class. Teaching Turtle Art to a class of so many children, none of who have ever used it before isn't very easy, especially given that we had only an hour to do the job.
Just came across an example of Turtle Art being employed in a school, Goa India. Nice photo collection; looks like the XO-1 caused some track pad problems. Our kids use netbooks and SoaS; no track pad problems reported.

- A backend for Sugar’s sharing to a Web Service featureRecently, Walter and Tincho finished twitter-gobject and got it integrated with the Web Services infrastructure that Walter wrote for Sugar. But today Walter told me that while he was in Oz he learned that the deployment there is interested in the sharing-to-a-web-service capability from the Journal, but probably not to Twitter nor Facebook. So this weekend […]
Two things about track pad: 1) do they know the key combination to reset the trackpad (restart, too)? and 2) I notice that when I use TWO HANDS rather than just one hand and finger, sometimes the trackpad response becomes unhappy (uncooperative). These experiences in Kenya in 2008, 2009 and 2011 same school location, a hundred XO-1 machines.
