Re: Classroom of the Future at NAIS Conference

I have a Python elective class in which the class project is to write
software for the OLPC's XO - it seemed like a great project for an
advanced elective. We've been at it for the past month and have learned
a lot as we've struggled to get the emulation environments to work. I
ordered a couple of the G1G1 units as well, and given the hassles of
emulation, we're eagerly awaiting those little green boxes.

I'm trying to keep a blog of our misadventures at

http://fossindiana.blogspot.com/ - it's not deathless prose, but if
anyone is interested our nuts and bolts experiments, feel free to stop by.

Cheers,
Vern Ceder
