[squeakland] [Squeakland News] Squeakfest Uruguay 2012 Day 2 - Diner with Plan Ceibal

[Rita]

I accompanied Mariana Herrera to the Plan Ceibal offices the day before.  
There I met Lidia Barboza, the coordinator of research and evaluation in  
educational technology. She introduced me to her colleagues and explained  
the ideas and ongoing projects at Plan Ceiabl in the area of primary  
education. Then she invited me and Randy for diner the next day.
We had an inspiring and deep conversation during diner, where we also met  
Lidias colleagues from Plan Ceibal and Carlos and Nanny Rabassa, who  
support and volunteer for Etoys since the Squeakfest in Brazil in 2009.
I'm especially happy about Lidias view of Etoys and how it could be used  
for deeper learning in schools. She has an understanding for  
constructionist learning, knows that the way of teaching needs to change  
and has ides on how to accomplish that. I hope we can go on working  
together and make a difference for primary education in Uruguay!



It was a very interesting diner, which unfortunately took longer than we  
had planned, so I arrived late for my own workshop.
