Re: Suggestion about feature in ''sin-dientes'' activity

2011-03-08 Thread forster
Hi
I think it is a good idea if students can also create lists, its another way to 
learn literacy.

You are presumably concerned that students will 'cheat' by
a)looking in the word list
b)substitute an easier word list

The solutions might be
a)allow teachers and students to create encrypted lists
b)calculate and display a checksum of the list words

Hope that helps
Tony

Would not the most simple solution to establish a social contract
between the teachers and the children about what should or should not
be changed?

Suggestion about feature in "sin-dientes" activity

2011-03-08 Thread Yader Velásquez
Hi community.

I'm developing a game activity (in spanish Sin dientes) similar to the
hanged man, but focus
in the children context. I'm working to a foundation that deploy a
educational project in Nicaragua
with the XO. They want add a feature that allow to the teachers to
import/customize the word list.

My problem is: How to allow only the teachers to customize the list words,
and deny this feature to the regulars students?
I use the FileChooserWidget for select a file with the new list, but is not
a good idea that a child can do it.

Regards

Important clarification -- thanks! USB2VGA does _not_ support a
special mode called Xv that you normally use to display images from a
camera. It may be that cheese misbehaves when Xv is not supported.

Logs from cheese will be interesting to read.

Does Record inside Sugar work well? It does for me, and that means it
tries Xv and fallsback properly.

Martin:

I will do that.  Of course I don't know how to file a bug report.  I believe
I have a user ID, but will have to play for a bit, methinks.

All my previous issues were due to user ignorance, or user error, with me
being the user  :-)

Just to clarify, your list of the issue events is perfect.  But, it's only
the image *inside* the cheese frame that freezes, not the XO machine, the
application or the projector, just the camera image.  Also, its the same
symptoms inb Sugar, not just Gnome.  One can just close cheese, open
guvcview and carry on in the same session.  But guvcview requires a bit of
work on F11 to install, much more work for a non-technical person than just
a 'yum install cheese' requires.

Off to bug report land!

Cheers

KG
