A wixi is a wiki with annotated text. It is intended to facilitate language learning.

marked up twext can communicate structure

wixi twexter

wixi'd wikis get text twext.. twext texts provide meaningful, comprehensible input for language learners.. wikis make twext easy to share..

the OLPC will connect kids learning many different languages.. wixi offers a learner-centric environment for

kids to construct language learning..

WixiJump.gif

if you know sugar/python and wanna help kids learn, you could maybe help make this wixi

program a real-world learning example: http://wixi.cc/hello_world


WiXiMethodOnXO.gif

chunk method

twext uses a simple method to associate chunks of text with chunks of

translation.. the method works with regular text and also with lyrics to songs.. and any of many languages: http://wixi.cc/twexter

press ESC to stop the animations, RELOAD to restart animations


WiXiXcrollNarrow.png
xcroll may also be useful for regular mediawiki editing

WiXiTwexterXcrollPreviewFast.gif

xcroll input

xcroll now controls text and twext input windows, as well the live preview window..

controlling many windows with a single scrollbar has many potential uses.. a xcroll demo works (w/

firefox) now: http://twext.cc/twexter

any language already in twexter can serve as source for translation to add another language.. so English can be source to add Cockney, or Español can be source to add Tagalog, Maya, Nauhtl..

even Spanglish..

multilingual

bid now: earn $2500 to deliver unique, useful, new and free WiXi software building on the

basic twexter demo, enabling us to save and manage multilingual twexts.. the design

allows languages, dialects and slangs to participate and includes basic wixi history/revert functions..

WixiJump.gif what if 10 languages and 10,000 users wixi twexter? or 100 and 1,000,000? either way,

there is a chance that rich data may emerge.. down the road, maybe part of http://omegawiki.org.. for now,

we're looking at a trick to make filenames include independent database info.. big

picture data design goal is to classify chunks by meaning before categorizing them as part of a specific

language.. afaik maybe doable w/ http://wixi.cc/atoms

wixi

wixi integrates twexter into the XO wiki, MediaWiki or any other wiki.. the source text might be fixed, but anyone can edit the translation the wiki way.. http://wixi.cc/wixi

WiXiDelyricSampleSurvive.jpg

delyric

wixi can grow to help anyone, including OLPC kids, turn popular parts of popular songs into fun ways to construct language learning with visualized, twext translated, legal and transformative "fair use": http://wixi.cc/citage

learning language learning

wixi is a idea for a very simple program that OLPC kids can use to learn each others language.. at little cost,

we can deliver a new tool that can also test kids' capacity to "learn learning".. who

knows, maybe kids can even teach know-it-all adults something about language learning :)

worth a try?

WixiJump.gif
WiXiScratchVenAca.gif

scratch

scratch help kids learn programming by assembling commands to create multimedia games.. adding twext or wixi to scratch could be an simple, affective, effective way for kids to program some human language learning.. http://scratch.mit.edu


StoryAskKids.gif

storyasking

kinda ruff but maybe tuff, storyasking might be a fun way we can learn each others language.. storyasking is a free child of TPRStorytelling, a language teaching method loved by plenty of teachers around the world.. storyasking offers a way to freely play with TPRS.. so we can ask stories and learn each others' language.. storyasking may also be a way to scratch some twext.
