Educators, so you want to learn more about FREE Sugar software and how to get it for your classroom?

Come to my 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.

Old Stuff:

Filling in this user page will take a while! Meanwhile, I just want to let you know I am happily participating in the OLPC project as a tech support volunteer. I do rt tickets, especially those needing extra TLC or translation from/to Spanish.

I also am a disaster services volunteer with the American Red Cross and lead hikes with for 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 to Montana where we are finishing a large log home on the Yellowstone River.

Fall 2009 Update:

Caryl Bigenho, AKA "Sweet XO Grannie"

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 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.
