Hi Tim,
We had great achievements in 2009, I would like to thank you especially
for your efforts on organizing Squeakfest Brasil 2009, for coming to Porto
Alegre to help me make it happen, and even for going to “Olimpico Soccer Stadium”
to cheer for Gremio Soccer team, in a terrible cold night of winter !!!! I hope
that Waveplace extends its activities to South America soon, so you come to
visit us again!
I am sure we will keep working together and strength
partnerships among organizations. As hardware gets less expensive, sooner or
later laptops and other kinds of technology will arrive in schools all over. The
need for software, knowledge, materials and guidance is growing and getting
more evident, we all have tons of work to help technology improve education
and children´s life,
A good energy for all!
Marta

Assunto: stepping down from squeakland
Hi everyone,
After much soul searching, I've decided to step down as
director of Squeakland Foundation.
Since the earthquake in Haiti, my time has largely been
spent on our Waveplace education pilots there, which have been very successful
and are growing fast. Last night I decided that I need to stay focused on
Haiti and our other Waveplace work, that I no longer have time for the
additional responsibilities of Squeakland. I leave you in the very
capable hands of Rita Freudenberg and whomever the new board decides.
I still love Etoys, and will continue to teach it and
promote it, though this will now be through Waveplace, not
Squeakland. What has been called the "Squeakland Courseware"
will now become the "Waveplace Courseware". Same stuff,
different website. I will continue to fundraise for courseware
development, this will be through Waveplace now. All materials will
remain freely distributable.
Immuexa, my software company, will continue to host and
support the Squeakland website and showcase for free. Squeakland will
now be our client, as Viewpoints was before.
My very best to the many people I have meet in the last
fifteen months. Thank you for your passion, your time, your talent.
What a gift to work with such incredible people!
Take care,
Tim
