Greetings,
Rita

-----------------------------------------------------------

Participants: Kathleen, Randy, Cherry, Rita

- Kathleen proposed to add certain organisations to our community page, especially Ceibal, UseIT and HPI Potsdam

- Randy suggested to use the event theatre in Etoys instead of screencasts, because it can be better integrated with the project. The students will not just see something they have to follow, but can try on their own and will get help if neede. To have this help available within etoys is preferred to having to open another program.

- Rita will ask BJ about a print-on-demand publishing of the powerful ideas book

- Cherry has wonderful ideas and is working hard on the Cooney Center Grant, Randy and Kathleen will also help and the three of them will apply as a team.

- Tim asked in his email if he should move the lessons he's done for the basic etoys unit and storytelling unit to Waveplace, the participants of this call agree with that. We think that the lessons fit well with workshops or after school courses, but not with classroom use.
