Hey guys - saw you speak at yesterday's Chicago OLPC meetup. I didn't meet you two in person but did talk to many of your IMSA classmates and teachers/administrators. I wanted to point you to an interesting post about XO Planetarium, an activity for the XO. It's an older post, but there are some interesting comments that might be useful. [http://www.olpcnews.com/use_cases/education/olpc_planetarium_software.html Planetarium OLPC News Post] This is probably just the beginning of my unsolicited input for you - your clock app is a really awesome idea, great project, and perfect for the young end of the 6-12 age range targeted with the XO. As far as I can tell, there are fewer activities designed for the younger set, something I hope to change. [[User:KayTi KayTi]] |
