===Educators, so you want to learn more about FREE Sugar software and how to get it for your classroom?=== |
|||
Come to my [http://www.cueunplugged.com/| CUE Unplugged Session] at the CUE conference in Palm Springs, CA on March 4-6. My session is on Friday in the 3:15 to 3:45 pm time slot. |

===Introduction:=== |
|||
I am a retired Los Angeles educator who spent 30 years teaching math, science, and computer science and serving as a counselor at the secondary level. |
|||
In 2007 I was a "First Day Donor" in OLPCs G1G1 program. Soon after receiving my XO in November 2007, I joined the OLPC support-gang. I continue to volunteer with OLPC and also with Sugar Labs, testing software and providing a teacher's perspective. |
|||
I especially enjoy helping with Contributors Program projects, helping answer questions from people in Spanish, and taking my [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Roadshow_in_a_Box#2010/ Roadshow In A Box] to conferences, expos, and other places that want presentations about the XOs and the Sugar software. |
|||
I also am a disaster services volunteer with |
|||
the American Red Cross in California and Montana and lead hikes with |
|||
for the Los Angeles Chapter of the Sierra Club's Inner City Outings |
|||
program. |
|||
In my spare time I do a lot of dancing, play |
|||
in the garden, edit photos and DVDs, travel, |
|||
try to play various musical instruments, and |
|||
spend time with my family. |
|||
In the summer I escape, with my [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Roadshow_in_a_Box#2010/ Roadshow In A Box] to Montana where we |
|||
are finishing a large log home on the |
|||
Yellowstone River. |

This is me with one of my RoadShow In A Box XOs. If you look closely at the XO screen, you will see my husband, Ed who took the picture. He helps me a lot with presentations and visits to schools with the Roadshow XOs. |
|||
Since I started this page, I have acquired more XOs via the Contributors Program and damaged machines which I have been able to repair. I take them to conferences, do presentations, booths and the like to spread the OLPC message in Southern California and Montana. I also lend them out to potential Contributors Program applicants. |
|||
The poster behind me is a reminder that I have also participated in 2 book sprints, the [http://en.flossmanuals.net/xo/ Floss Manual] sprint in summer of 2008 and the Class Acts sprint in summer of 2009. |
|||
I have also been enjoying acting as a mentor for several Contributors Program projects. |
