I am Francesca Slade, a Yale undergraduate is interning at OLPC this summer. My email is firstname.lastname [at] yale.edu. My cell phone number is (917) 842 6216. I am involved in working on lots of projects described below. To find a list of current work please look at [[/Weekly updates|My weekly updates]]. |
|||
Also see [[Wiki wishlist]] for a SMWiki wishlist |
|||
Francesca has been working to get SMW implemented on the wiki. I am currently working on using it to document test cases, and deployments. I am also planning on also getting activity data in SMW. If you are interested in helping please send me an email @laptop.org. |
|||
== [[Open Jams]] == |
|||
An Open Jam, or OJ for short is a public meeting for people who want to get involved with the OLPC project. Each meeting should have a goal of content or code or contacts. The overarching goal of the project should be helping people learn in a way that will enable them to continue to be involved in the OLPC project. |
|||
We have been running a [[Boston_Saturday_OJ]] from 2-6 at 1CC, and recently moved it to the MIT Museum, and changed the time from 2-5. We would love for anyone to come. Please send me an email and let me know if you are coming. |
|||
== [[Bilingual Cultural Exchange]] == |
|||
The bilingual cultural exchange program connects classrooms with XO's with college and high school students who are from a different part of the world. The goal is to promote (as the name of the project suggests) a bilingual cultural exchange in the form of emails about each individual's respective communities. |
|||
== [[Organizing the wiki]] == |
|||
I am trying to add more structure to the wiki. I am working on implementing Semantic Media Wiki, and Semantic forms to facilitate this task. |
|||
== [[Yale OLPC]] == |
|||
I am starting the OLPC Yale chapter. We are interested in participating in the [[Bilingual Cultural Exchange]] program. Functioning as a resource for new schools, and working to start a New Haven XO classroom. |
|||
== [[Flashcard Data Structure Application]]== |
|||
Most Applications on the XO use a binary data set to quiz students: |
|||
* Image Quiz uses an image map: string binary pair |
|||
* Kuku uses either an image: string pair, or a string: string pair |
|||
* Memory uses an image:image set |
|||
Unfortunately to edit the set of information used for the quiz programs you have to have a reasonable facility with Python. I would like to create a standard file type that could be passed between applications. I will also create an application to create such a file format. |
|||
The other side of this problem involves areas of information where questions could be generated by a computer, as in areas of math, and language learning. Another goal would be to make the standard file type work to creating random questions. |
