[IAEP] Sugar doc on flossmanuals - question about chapter Going beyond activities

2011-07-12 Thread Rita Freudenberg
Hi,

I'm currently translating the sugar manual into German and I'm at the chapter 
Going beyond activities. I'm having problems understanding the second 
paragraph Reading with Sugar.  This chapter refers to the Browse activity and 
then says to click the books link, and then click encyclopedia, picture books, 
or dictionaries.

I don't see a books-link when I start the Browse activity. Am I using an old 
version? Is there any other Browse activity? It would be great if someone could 
tell me which activity the manual is referring to. Maybe the manual is outdated 
and needs to be reworked?

Thanks,
Rita

I suspect that this is in reference to an old Browse start-screen
option that included links to locally stored content.

FYI, the OLPC Content library stuff is still there in OLPC builds.

I wouldn't delete it, but maybe note that it is OLPC-build specific.

Re: [IAEP] [SLOBS]: Request for certifications of developing an activity

 Can we discuss this? I think it would be good to have a certificate
 program of some sort. I image that if we get sign-off by 2+
 experienced developers, we should be willing to award some sort of
 certificate (perhaps we can get the design team to work something up.)

Perhaps we could tie the certificate-awarding to posting an activity on
ASLO and getting a review from someone on the Activity Team or something?

Thanks,

[IAEP] Looking for Concrete Fraction Experiences

2011-07-12 Thread Steve Thomas
Looking for ideas on how we can give kids (and adults) concrete experiences
with the concept of fraction.

Special bonus points for anyone who can come up with an example of division
with fractions (ex: 1/3 divided by 1/2)

Thanks,
Stephen
