Dear OLPC,
I am writing you as the Director of Scientific Animations Without Borders (SAWBO). SAWBO is a University of Illinois-based program focused on developing educational materials for low literate learners in developing nations in their own language. We have already developed a series of animations that might be useful for the OLPC program. All animations are given out to educators around the world free of charge. If OLPC would be interested in some of our animations we would be happy to provide them to OLPC free of charge we would be happy to work with your group to adapt them to the OX laptops. We feel that our educational content could be helpful for your wonderful system of delivering educational materials. A few websites on our program can be found at: 1) A PBS article on our project - http://www.americasheartland.org/episodes/episode_721/smart_phone_farming.htm 2) An animation explaining our project - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjtOHFFJSpc 3) Our full website - http://sawbo-illinois.org/ 4) Our website for those will low bandwidth - http://sawbo-illinois.org/mobile/ 5) An example animation - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQQycDb2tdY We would like to explore possible synergies between our two groups. Feel free to contact me at this e-mail address or at 1-(217)-417-8930. Regards, Barry -- -------------------------------------------- Barry R. Pittendrigh, Ph.D. Professor C.W. Kearns, C.L.
