Who am I?
My name is Scott Swanson, and I am the Strategic Technology Coordinator at the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy (IMSA).
Background
I have been an OLPC advocate since I first saw the OLPC protoypes and met OLPC staff in person at NECC 2006. I started shortly thereafter contributing to the work on getting the OLPC dev image working on Parallels for MacOS X so I could start working with it myself (and let others do the same). In Fall 2007, after Mel '03 came back to speak on OLPC at IMSA, I became the go-to person onsite for OLPC involvment.
Projects
- Emulation on MacOS X using Parallels Desktop
- I am the club sponsor for the IMSA OLPC affiliate. More info forthcoming.
- I am the in-house advisor for Student Inquiry and Research pursuant to the OLPC project. My current advisees are:
- Meg '09: Development of a computer-based collaborative storytelling game for learning foreign languages
- Note that last names have been removed for FERPA and COPPA compliance.
