Thanks for sharing this Tony. Looks very interesting - Python reminds me of Microworlds. Might look into running a lunchtime programming club for grades 5-6. Although still trying to get a Minecraft Club started! - unfortunately my school techs don't know Minecraft and although it has been on their 'to do' list from last year limited time makes it really hard for them to get it up. :-( Cheers - Chris Trimnell

"One Laptop Per Child project founder Nicholas Negroponte said that the organization is accelerating its development of the XO-3 tablet computer and will have a working prototype by December 2010, two years ahead of projections. Negroponte said the final product would cost US$75."

The XO-3 OLPC laptop will be released two years ahead of schedule and cost about $75 US. Amazing to see all this techology come together. Tony and I are working with what we can do with the Sugar interface in the classroom.

This will keep Tony occupied for hours :)

Welcome to the new iSchool series - the iSchool crew. Check out my Podcast Producer's first go at doing their own podcast -Edtechcrew style. Found it very difficult but very rewarding. Basic concept is trying to give kids a voice for their honest feedback on th good and bad aspects of technology, and how it is being used in the classroom. Kids collaborate on a Google Doc to make show notes, and upload links to website. Planning to share Google Doc or create a Diigo/Delicious account so other kids at school can all have an input - much like is done here with Diigo. First episode, so be nice!

"We must give a big thanks and hello to Tony and Darrel from the EdTechCrew podcast, who are enthusiastic educators sharing their knowledge of technology. They have inspired us to try something from the kids' perspective. You know the old saying, 'Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.'"

Am interested in whether you feel that there is anything clearly missing from the survey Tony. I tried to keep it short so that people would actually complete it. My fear was that if you add questions like 'why do you think 1:1 is important' as Richard Olsen has suggested then people would start turning off :/

Here is my post in regards to the results from the survey: http://readingwritingresponding.blogspot.com.au/2014/05/11-devices-in-schools-reflection.html
