 Hi all,

 attached find a description about using Etoys to create digital postcards,
 developed by Kathleen Harness.Wouldn't it be great to have postcards from
 kids all over the world greeting us from their home town? Kathleen even
 lists the NETS standards regarding the postcard task.

 Greetings,
 Rita

 Hi everyone, we have been contacted by a monthly tech publication in
 Europe willing to devote several pages to Sugar in their summer issue!

 More specifically, advising parents how to download  run SoaS and do
 educational stuff with their kids during the summer holidays.


 Off the top of my head I suggested a scenario where Memorize is
 customized with family photos, a Turtle Art lesson, ...

 Suggestions please!

 thanks

 Sean

 A very general but powerful activity we also experimented: let the
 kids create a newspaper from scratch.  The topic was: Haitian public
 transportation.  The children went in the streets with the XO, made
 interviewed of people, took pictures of cars, buses, etc, wrote about
 ideas they had etc.  Activities involved: Write and Record.  I was not
 present when they did this, but I can redirect you to someone who can
 give more details, just let me know.

They may find these types from a editor colleague of mine of some interest:

They could do an interactive postcard using Etoys! Like greetings 
from ..., they could make photos using the camera, import them into 
Etoys and script it. I will sendmore infomation on how to do that.
