Last week, Waveplace finished our pilot in Immokalee, Florida. We'll be posting student storybooks soon, but for now you can watch our first Florida video, which gives a taste of our "improv theater" teaching style:

There are also several newspaper and radio reports on our press page:

as well as a few articles in our latest newsletter:

Today we start our pilot near Rivas, Nicaragua. We're using Spanish- keyboard XOs and solar panels this time, since the school has no electricity.
Can you provide details of your solar installations? We want to understand cost per user, how reliable solar power is (depending on weather), and other issues.
Our three Waveplace mentors flew in last night and will begin teaching the teachers today. The kids get their laptops tomorrow.
You say you use an improv style, but I assume you also have training materials. Where are they, and can others use them?
We've also created a Waveplace channel on YouTube, where you can find all of our videos:

Please leave comments and rank us, as we can use all the publicity we can get.
Take care, Tim
