Introduction

Our project is a classroom presentation application. Loosely based on the University of Washington's Classroom Presenter [[1]], we intend create an application that allows the teacher and students to interact through an interactive whiteboard or slide based presentation.

First, a brief introduction. We are undergraduate computer science and engineering students at the University of Washington. This year we are enrolled in a project class focusing on considering and implementing solutions for technology in low income regions. After considering the projects currently being built, as well as completed software projects, we believe that a classroom presentation application would be an asset to both the xo vision and the xo community.

As for the implementation, we believe that classroom presenter is a great model to work from, but realize that some features of classroom presenter will be unnecessarily difficult to implement on the xo. Thus, we are targeting the core features that will hopefully provide a interactive whiteboard, integration of digital ink, and the ability of the teachers to interact with the students in real time on premade lesson plans/presentations.

Please feel free to email us ideas or comments at Cse477_olpc_project@u.washington.edu.
