I want to follow up on requests made for candidates to have plans if
elected to the SugarLabs board. To keep it short, I'll write three lists
with two items each.
1) Outreach to other education programs
* Mozilla Drumbeat. Connect http://hackasaurus.org and Mozilla's growing education community with our Sugar community.
* Citizen science groups. When I was supporting an OLPC class in Cambridge, Cornell's program was interested but wanted to reach more Sugar users.
2) Supporting science classrooms
* Explain how to build simple sensors for programs such as Flower Bridge ( recently featured on http://blog.laptop.org )
* Write lesson plans for experiments that use only a few materials, such as these: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Ndoiron/SocialCalc also available in Mongolian: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Ndoiron/SocialCalc/Mongolian
3) Encouraging literacy over the web
* Identify English and Spanish reading materials appropriate for school, and make the list prominent on SugarLabs wiki and homepage.
* Suggest materials from NaNoWriMo, get students' work posted on school servers or on a major deployment's website http://ywp.nanowrimo.org/how-does-nanowrimo-work-for-educators
