EduJam 2011 —
I’m home from the EduJam conference in Montevideo, Uruguay — huge thanks to the organizers for a fun and productive event with around 80 Sugar and OLPC community members. We also got to spend some days before the conference visiting school deployments in Uruguay and asking about how they’re using their XOs (Uruguay is the first country to have implemented One Laptop Per Child for each of its children!), what they enjoy, and what they’re frustrated by.
I recorded video in the talks I attended, and collected video from people who recorded talks I didn’t, and have started to upload them to the Dailymotion Sugarlabs account. Here’s what I’ve got so far, and I’ll keep adding to the list as I collect more:
Talks in both English and Spanish
- Sugar Camp opening (First speaker in English, rest in Spanish)
- Panel: Deployment round table (Nepal, Rwanda, Paraguay, Uganda, Argentina, Nosy Komba)
- Sugar, Education and Tablets (slides have Spanish subtitles)
- Maintainership in an open source community
- Robots and the XO
- OLPC XO-1.75
Talks in English only
- Life in the OLPC Multiverse
- Sugar Future
- Advanced topics on Etoys
- Internationalization Everywhere
- The Diamond Age
- Android and Native Client
- Panel: Learning from past and present experiences
Talks in Spanish only
- Videojuegos
- Exposicion del Plan Ceibal
- Sugar para niños con descapacidades
- Sugar actividades para la web
(Please let me know in the comments if there are problems with any of the videos. Thanks to Bert Freudenberg for help with encoding them.)
thanks
upload to youtube would be good, dailymotion doesn’t work well at 1.5Mb
YouTube’s limited to 15 minutes per video, though, so it wouldn’t work well for these.
(There are some YouTube accounts that are allowed to uploaded longer videos, but not mine.)
so break up 1hr videos into 4x15minutes so lower bandwidth users can watch them?
(I tried embedding a 320px player and even that can’t keep up)
I don’t have time to do that for you, but I’d be happy to help someone else do it by giving them access to the raw video files.
Interesting, the first video won’t buffer, stops and starts, but the second and third play OK and buffer ahead on 1.5Mb
Oh, same here! Very weird. It does buffer eventually if I walk away for a long time..
I’ll try to work out what’s up, maybe re-upload it.
Unfortunately these don’t seem to be working with Gnash 0.8.9.
Chris, thanks for recording and uploading the videos(eduJAM2011!)…for the ones that we dont were there.
