Hi everyone,
We've posted a new video from our Haiti pilot, showing the day we gave the children their laptops:
We've also posted photos of each of the children with their new laptops. Thanks again to the kind people who donated their XOs:
In other news, we're starting from scratch with our Squeaky Tales courseware with what we've learned from our St John pilot so far. A new series of thirty videos featuring Etoys will be made, along with our new textbook. The Haitian pilot will be the first to use the new courseware, teaching three hours each week for ten weeks. It's scheduled to end before June 1st. Hopefully the full courseware will be done by July 1st.
If you have enjoyed our tutorials or movies, and believe in what we're doing, please consider donating on our website. We're running near the end of our budget and will likely have to cut corners on our upcoming full-length documentary and courseware. Both will be made freely available to the world, so helping us now helps everyone later, not just Caribbean children. Every little bit helps. To see a sample of our old courseware, click "tutorials".
If you can't give money, click "contact" and say hello anyway!
Thanks,
Timothy
