[IAEP] Conozco Uruguay in Mac computer
Frederick, Thomas, Raffael Thank you and all who sent me messages trying to help me in using SoaS in a Mac computer. I am afraid my request was not clear and too ambitious. Let me replace it with a much simpler and modest request, if I may. I heard lots of praise about the Conozco Uruguay activity. I haven't been able to see it in action or use it myself. Could someone give me step by step instructions to use Conozco Uruguay in a Mac computer? If you could give me just one set of instructions, with no alternatives, no shop talk, that would be ideal. If tomorrow a much better solution comes up, I promise not to complaint. If I get to do this and you are still willing to help, I will certainly ask for more. I am dreaming of simple instructions I could quickly follow to get to this modest goal. I am not even dreaming of becoming a developer or anything like that. Just want to be helpful as a volunteer, learning to use as many applications as I can. Thanks!

Re: [IAEP] Conozco Uruguay in Mac computer
Carlos: I don't know about Macs, but Conozco Uruguay is written in Python Pygame which are platform-indpendent so it should work. You would need to do this: 1) install python 2) install pygame 3) unzip ConozcoUruguay-10.xo 4) in the terminal, go to the directory ConozcoUruguay.activity and run python conozcouy.py I don't know how to do 1) and 2), but these pages may help you: http://python.org/download/ http://www.pygame.org/download.shtml Regards, Gabriel 2011/4/9 Carlos Rabassa car...@mac.com: Frederick, Thomas, Raffael Thank you and all who sent me messages trying to help me in using SoaS in a Mac computer.

Re: [IAEP] Conozco Uruguay in Mac computer
Hi Carlos, I have used SoaS on the Mac with some success, but only as it came. I have never added any other Activities... but would like to learn how to do it. If you aren't in a huge hurry, I will bring my Mac when I come for the Conozco Uruguay tour and EDUJam next month. Maybe we can get together and make it work then! I love the way you asked for simple, easy to follow instructions. As a retired educator, I sort of specialize in writing things like that. I call them Grannies' Guides because the first one I wrote was for a grandmother who was having trouble getting her grandson's XO connected to the internet. But everyone thought it was called that because I am a grandmother... so that is how I got my nickname GrannieB. Meanwhile, between now and May, I'll ask around and see if I can make it work. There is a very helpful Mac user in the Australian outback who comes on RT late at night (morning there) and helps me with things like this. I'll try to see if he has any ideas. Hope to see you in May.
