2. Sdenka Salas, a teacher who is working with Andean children from Aymara and Quechua communities, wrote a book in April about using Sugar in the classroom. She recently completed the English-language version. She has kindly made it available for download (See [http://www.scribd.com/doc/20189623/The-XO-Laptop-in-the-Classroom The XO Laptop in the Classroom]).

3. Kludge of the week: I was recently asked for a copy of one of my talks. I give all of my talks using the presentation features of Turtle Art and I still haven't gotten around to writing the export function from Turtle Art to .odp (Open Office presentation). For this particular request, I didn't think that the HTML exported from Turtle Art was adequate. So I wrote a one-line Python call to save screen shots into the Journal, loaded it into the programmable brick and added that brick to the "next slide" trigger. The result: a copy of each slide of my talk automatically saved to the Journal. You can see [[File:Desktop-Summit.pdf|the results]] in the wiki.
