The Health Content page really isn't the appropriate place for Safe Use of the XO and Peripherals. If you're producing materials that could be considered Health Content we ought to make you your own page and link your materials properly. Perhaps Health Ergonomics?
It's really unfortunate that the XO has such bad ergonomics. Perhaps with proper input the Write activity could be given a RSI forced break for X seconds every Y minutes. Maybe a window with a suggested exercise for one's hands? I've seen similar programs. And teaching children basic stretches and ergonomics could go a long way.
Anyway, drop me a line via email seth@isforinsects.com or on irc and I'll help you document your projects/concerns/interests. is for Insects 19:26, 4 February 2008 (EST)
- Thank you for considering the safe use section. See my user page for more of my thoughts and intentions. You may see that the task of communicating health, safety, or security information requires a subtle balance with more attractive content to avoid rejection. Often we only intend to plant a seed that will begin to grow at a later time, but hopefully before an incident, so those involved will have some reference or guidance points.
- I like your idea for reminder software in some activities. I like the format of the Desk-Trainer software, http://www.desk-trainer.com/. It is an example of how computer graphics can be used to assist in physical and health education. --FGrose 04:02, 5 February 2008 (EST)
