Re: [IAEP] [support-gang] Plan Ceibal's Khan Academy Web site
Hi Adam, best regards from Santiago. The spanish localization of Khan's videos has been an joint effort between IADB, Intel and the ministries of education of Uruguay and Chile. Chile's tasks was to translate the Biology videos, don't know why they are noy included in Ceibal's portal. Also the same videos were also ttranslated to portuguese. I speak about localization because in many cases the videos had to be re-mixed, for example, because of different rules in the use of commas or any text appearing in the video. I've heard that the use last year (officially launched in June at http://virtualeduca.org/encuentros/panama/) has been very striking, counting the spanish and the portuguese, lessons deliverd touch the 5 million (a Khan delivered lesson is counted when the video has been enterily watched). Best wishes, Werner 2013/1/17 Holt h...@laptop.org These vids seem high-quality, does anybody know how Ceibal did this? (not that I speak Spanish unfortunately!) Any idea how many of the world's 465 Million Spanish speakers can-or-care to watch these, as Wifi/Net/4G invades more rural parts of Latin America?

La presentación de esta publicación contará con comentarios a cargo de la Dra. Ximena Triquell (UNC- Conicet). [Sobre el libro] Lo que nos define como humanos es nuestra capacidad, por un lado, de crear conocimiento, y por otro, de compartirlo o comunicarlo con nuestros semejantes. Ambos rasgos se han engranado a lo largo de decenas de miles de años; al unirlos, el conocimiento trasciende al individuo, evitando la necesidad de redescubrir o reinventar lo que ya sabemos. Compartir el conocimiento es lo que llevó a nuestra especie al rol dominante que hoy en día ocupa. El presente libro es resultado del trabajo que durante un año se efectuó en el seminario «Construcción Colaborativa del Conocimiento» poniendo en práctica las nuevas formas de producción de los contenidos. En este libro, once autores de muy diferentes orígenes disciplinarios y geográficos abordan cómo en un mundo hiper-comunicado se han modificado las reglas básicas de la interacción en áreas tan distintas como la creación artística, las organizaciones sociales, el desarrollo de código de computadora, la educación o el sector productivo. [...] La presentación se desarrollará el día jueves 15 de diciembre, a las 18 hs, en la Sala D del Pabellón Residencial, Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades, ciudad universitaria, Córdoba, Argentina.

Re: [IAEP] [Local Labs] Certificaciones en Sugar
Estimados, saludos cordiales. Febrero en Chile es mes de vacaciones y estoy inmerso en ellas, al igual que Gustavo llego tarde a este correo. Puedo dar algunos comentarios a la rápida, con el compromiso de hondar partir de la próxima semana de vuelta en funciones. Parto de la base de que la idea de certificar nace de la necesidad de reconocimento profesional de los docentes en el dominio pedagógico del entorno Sugar. Aunque este puede verse como un segundo escalón de profundización, pues creo que el manejo y gestión del entorno es un desafío en si mismo. Pero creemos que hay que ir más allá de un ICDL de Sugar, para que tenga real valor en los docentes de educación formal. Efectivamente el tema puede voilverse complejo al pensar en los distintos niveles y sectores de aprendizaje, pero creo puede abordarse de una manera genérica si nos basamos en estándares y competencias TICs para docentes (UNESCO, por ejemplo, hay otros marcos) aplicadas a Sugar, y que siente un piso común para todos nuestros países y realidades. La extensión de Sugar en la región sumado a la misma lengua, es una oportunidad inmejorable para crear recursos que podamos compartir y reutilizar para este fin. Nosotros nos hemos imaginado instancias de evaluación que midan habilidades y competencias pedagógicas para certificar el manejo de Sugar. A su vez esas mismas evaluaciones pueden ser reutilizadas en curso formativo de dichas habilidades y competencias. Así podemos abordar a los docentes que ya tienen experiencia en Sugar y aquellos que necesitan formarse o completar su formación en el uso pedagógico de Sugar. Sabemos que hay material de sobra para trabajar en algo así, y se podría plasmar tranquilamente en un LMS (Moodle por ejemplo) para trabajarlo de forma controlada y personalizada. Y por supuesto los principios de Sugar deben ser transversales pensando en niveles de profundidad mayores para los docentes, pero deben verse como escalones superiores. Así la ideas es que no sólo dominen el entrono, sino que sepan apoyarse en la comunidad, construir colaborativamente, hasta intervenir y reutilizar actividades, para luego crearlas, etc. Es clave una visión de desarrollo profesional incremental. Seguimos conversando el tema. Saludos cordiales, werner El 15 de febrero de 2011 00:00, Gustavo Ibarra ibarr...@gmail.comescribió: Saludos para todos, recién hoy leo este correo -vengo atrasado-, ¿avanzaron con este tema de las certificaciones?. Pregunto por si aun tengo un par de correo por leer. +1. Me parece interesante (y un poco compleja) pensar en una certificación. 2011/2/9 Sebastian Silva sebast...@somosazucar.org: Estimados miembros de la comunidad Sugar: Ha surgido recientemente en la lista Sur, y también en la junta de Sugar Labs, la inquietud respecto de «Certificaciones Sugar» las cuales podrían estar ofreciendo diferentes entidades en distintos países, pero que no son oficialmente respaldadas por Sugar Labs. Walter me pidió en la última reunión de la junta que me hiciera cargo (junto a Claudia Urrea de OLPC) de definir un proceso de Certificación que estuviera bajo el control de los laboratorios locales y que fuera acorde con los principios pedagógicos de Sugar. El argumento es que por una parte, un certificado ayuda a los docentes a avanzar profesionalmente, y un programa inteligente de certificaciones podría difundir Sugar y sus principios incorporando a los participantes en la comunidad. Sin embargo he encontrado la tarea tremendamente compleja sobretodo porque desconozco las coyunturas locales en las cuales esta certificación se aplicaría y en general me parece que el modelo tradicional de certificaciones choca con mis propios principios como autodidacta. Inquietudes similares me mostraron miembros de Sugar Labs Colombia en la última reunión que tuvimos. En todo caso, Claudia y yo trabajamos en el siguiente documento compartido: http://openetherpad.org/certificacion-sugarlabs Hay reuniones de la junta casi todos los jueves a las 3PM EST, en el canal #sugar-meeting (http://chat.sugarlabs.org/).

This event will congregate a lot of Fedora contributors from Latin América. ¿What are the major and urgent tasks or challenges for the Fedora community related to Sugar, as a spin?, ¿how can local deployments foster Sugar development as a spin? Whatever thoughts are welcomed. Best wishes, werner ___ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!) IAEP@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep

Re: [IAEP] FW: liveusb-creator error
Hello Ian. Didn't mean to bother with this problem, but personally I find it very pertinent to this list, where always has been a great suppport around Sugar. So as this community helped me solve the problem, I am moved to be give my report back. Gonzalo, effectively as I lowered the Persistant Storage, there was no problem making the SoaS with the Persistant Storage. Is there a minumum size in this issue? Thank you very much for your help.

[IAEP] GCompris problems on SoaS
Hello, regards from Chile. Working with a teacher, she wanted to explore GCompris activities loading them in her SoaS, in the context of our first pilot deployment in K-3. But there's a problem with launching those activities with this message: Cannot find cached 0sugar-launch implementation. It's confusing the situation, because she said the in the first instance the activities did launch, but now they won't. I tried it out on my SoaS and had no trouble with one GCompris activity (weigthscale), but I downloaded 2 of the and had the same problem. Can this problem be solved in any way on the SoaS? Can we rely on using GCompris activities in a deployment context? Thanks for your suggestions, werner http://cl.sugarlabs.org ___ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)

[IAEP] Sugar evaluation and impact
Hello to all, regards from Santiago, Chile. Sugar Labs Chile (http://cl.sugarlabs.org), joined with the PUCV University (http://www.ucv.cl/) are going to build a proposal for public funding of curricula integration of innovational technology ( http://www.enlaces.cl/index.php?t=44i=2cc=624.483tm=3), where Sugar will be deployed in it's use for 3rd graders (8-9 year old) in 15 schools (30 courses), in disciplines to be defined (at least, Lenguage and Communication). One of the requirements are that the technology had to be deployed previously and had some evaluative conclusions of it's impact. There's been a lot of announcement of different assessments of Sugar/OLPC around the world, but I would like to have your opinion on the best evaluations made to today.

[IAEP] Sugar in Chile
Greetings to all. Patricio Acevedo left the audience shocked after presenting Sugar in the 2nd Innovation Workshop: The Creative Teacher, held in the Metropolitan Educational University, in Santiago, Chile. The workshop strives to present and share educational resources to support learning experiences builted by teachers, so Patricio deployed Sugar's creative potential for teachers and students. Many questions were asked at the end of the presentation ( http://prezi.com/139914/), by an excited audience of pedagogical carrers students and professors. More details (in spanish): http://www.educalibre.cl/blog/viewpost/1226.html This is not the first time we present publicly Sugar, but it's the first activiuty we held as Sugar Labs Chile!!! So it's our official kickoff, and we are happy to say that things are starting to move favorably. Patricio's presentation is another step in our effort to generate alliance with this university. The announced Sugar pilot in Punta Arenas will start tomorrow as the responsibles come back from winter break. We will be presenting a formal proposal for a small deployment in Huechuraba (a local county that has bought 2.000 Classmates), to be held in 2010. Step by step, we are moving forward. We want to appreciatte Bernie Innocenti's support building our wiki ( http://cl.sugarlabs.org), we wil be working on it this week. Thank you.

[IAEP] Sugar Labs Chile proposal
To David Farning, best regards from Santiago, Chile. I'd like to officially nominate Chile as a Local Lab: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Labs_Chile We, Educalibre (http://www.educalibre.cl), were hoping to be ready as a formalized NGO, but the process will not end before 2 or 3 months (it started August 2008). It woud be best to sign the MOU once we are formalized completely. But things are starting to work out with Sugar in Chile. We are starting a pilot in Punta Arenas, where the Sugar on a Stick will be running over Classmate 1, and another pilot is on it's way in Huechuraba County, outside of Santiago. We have the support of interesting allies such as initiatives related to school innovation through ICTs, universities (inlcuiding a educational university), Intel (who's shown great interest and commitment). This year, Classmate 1 Mobile Labs (on a cart) were distrubuted to public schools oriented to 3rd graders, and SoaS+Classmate is seen as a great alternative. We are also have close contact with Sugar Labs Colombia, who are also starting to roll out pilots, and we've commited to share and build collaborately (we are starting to design a course oriented to teacher profesiona development, and have a basic Sugar course and agenda as well). All of the above has pushed to finaly run Sugar Labs Chile. Hope to hear from you soon, werner ___ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)

[IAEP] Sugar Talk to Chilean's Edu-ICT National Program
Regards from Santiago, Chile. Next monday 29th, Sugar will be presented to authorities and proffesionals of Enlaces, Chilean's governmental Edu-ICT National Program. We are scoping to place Sugar as an alternative to a national program that will bring ICT resources to K-3 level next year. This presentation will be held by Pato Acevedo, who you already know in this list for his e-Toys contributions (http://patoacevedo.oamm.info/wordpress/). Also myself, who was asked by Enlaces to generate a deployment project for OLPC, but was sadly unsuccessful (http://www.olpcnews.com/countries/chile/free_xo_laptop_children.html). We are both participating in Educalibre (http://www.educalibre.cl/), a recently formalized 4 year old Edu-ICT community as a ONG. We hope to contribute from here to Sugar deployment and development.
