Background

My name is Abbi Honeycutt and I am a first year Information Security and Forensics student at RIT. I am very interested in education, and have some experience working with second grade students with various learning disorders. I am very excited to be working with OLPC because it meshes two of my favorite things -- technology and education. In my free time I enjoy web development and horseback riding.

I am interested in working with the game Produce Puzzle and perhaps helping develop some new math games. As a student with a math learning disorder myself, I am also interested in the possibility of using XO laptops in special education programs in the US and other countries.

Skills

PHP, MySQL, Javascript, C++, web design, experience with elementary age children, some experience with graphic design

Math Tasks

• 4.P.4 (Use pictures, models, tables, charts, graphs, words, number sentences, and mathematical notations to interpret mathematical relationships).
• 4.M.3 (Identify time to the minute on analog and digital clocks using a.m. and p.m. Compute elapsed time using a clock (e.g., hours and minutes since…) and using a calendar (e.g., days since…).).
