[IAEP] eBooks for Primary Students?
Hi Can some of you send me some links to sites with free ebooks/digital textbooks suitable for use in primary schools... English is ok. Need to be culturally unbiased if possible. I need these for for folks doing Contributors Program projects in Uganda and on the Crow reservation in Montana. Thanks! Caryl ___ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)

[IAEP] Notes from OLPC/Waveplace Health Discussion
Hi all, To those who attended- thanks for a GREAT talk about public health on the XO! Those of you who couldn't be there, be sure to keep yourself posted on our listserv, where we'll continue the dialogue. See notes below about our Public Health meeting from Tuesday, June 22nd at 4pm EST. Next steps: - Add more ideas under each of the OLPC Health unit suggestions over the *next week*. - Divide topics among people and build units over the next *month or two* to create an arsenal of public health curricula that can be used in current and future laptop projects. Ready, set, go! Anyone not on the hea...@waveplace.org listserv who would like to take part in the topic identifying and project executing, send me an email and I will add you. Beth Attendees: Beth Santos Caryl Bigenho Jessica Curtis George Hunt Steve Sargon Randall Caton David Cullen Samuel Klein (chat only) Mika Matsuzaki (chat only) - Interest in making public health programs for the XO - Focus on Etoys - Will allow teachers who are not familiar with computers to edit programs so they are culturally relevant - Will also allow students to interact with the lessons more - Does not NEED to be Etoys-focused - Waveplace: divides units into ten lessons, each lesson is about 50 minutes in length (not necessarily all time used on the computer, some interaction off the computer too) - We can take on 5+ units and create ten lessons for each unit (for example, the sanitation unit includes lessons on hand washing, water filtration, etc) - Haiti, São Tomé- both locations that could really use public health programs on the XO NOW - Topics on the OLPC Health Wiki (can structure from here)- via http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Health_Content - - Physiology http://go/Physiology and body systems/functions - Reproduction??? - Family planning?? Caution with these, could be culturally insensitive/irrelevant - Tobacco and smoking (also under air quality) - Breast feeding - Steve's wife- La Leche Legue - Water and sanitation http://go/Water_and_sanitation - water testing and filtration - in Haiti there are good and bad wells - see microscope talk below- we can compare good and bad water by number of microbes, color of water, etc. - Beth will get in touch with MIT students that created their own water filtration kits for kids to use - http://www.water1st.org/work/bangladesh/update.html - village-scale water treatment - latrines- Jess-- water-sealed toilets - Solar-powered water still - Diarrheal diseases - hand-washing - http://www.kidzworldespanol.com/articulo/792-lavarse-las-manos - Hygiene- hand-washing could also come into play here - Nutrition http://go/Nutrition - Food Force on the XO explores the topic of world hunger - Diet planner - Vitamin A and blindness - Infectious diseases - Make sure to focus on both communicable AND non-communicable diseases - H1N1 - MALARIA - mosquito nets - São Tomé has been able to end death from malaria under age 5 - Free from Malaria game on the XO - HIV/AIDS - Indoor cooking and air quality - Environment/deforestation/reforestation - Pollution - Smoking - First aid and field medicine - Disaster Relief http://go/Disaster_Relief - Also see more topics on http://www.tchd.org/kids.html - http://www.hesperian.org/publications_download.php (Where There Is No Doctor) - Ways to present info - Interactive lessons - take the kids outside or doing something physical - Data storing/importing - perhaps using Kedama - Netlogo/Starlogo - health simulations where kids can play - Get local involvement and ownership-- make sure content is *culturally appropriate and relevant* - Encourage local institutions and governments to adapt the content and presentation of content to their needs - Use the XO as a microscope- camera has a resolution of 720 x 480 - Kids can use the microscope to explore micro/macrobiotic things in water, for example - seeing the invisible - Mike Dawson's Afghanistan stuff - http://www.paiwastoon.af/index.php?option=com_contentview=articleid=50Itemid=23lang=en - Teachers and other locals would be able to make their own programs --- *Beth Santos* Outreach Coordinator Waveplace
