Below is an e-mail that I wrote to several of the OLPC mailing lists. It was supposed to be a concise summary of the work we are doing on the school server but it ended up being way to long. I have posted it here because blogs are perfect for overly long messages.

Interaction program with teachers
On January 14, 2008, OLE Nepal organized a day-long interaction program with teachers at the National Center for Education Development (NCED), the government body responsible for training public school teachers all over the country. The program was organized in coordination with the Department of Education. The goal of the program was to inform teachers about the development of digital educational material and its implementation through the OLPC program, as well as to gather teachers’ perspective of the OLPC program and the use of digital content to enhance the teaching-learning process.

Not so fast!
I did the programming for three simple math activities: one for counting, one for organizing objects into a bar graph and answering simple questions, and one for recognizing currency notes. That was over four days, so I'm only operating at 75% of my target production rate—we'll see how much more work will be needed for testing and review. But I am starting to get a better idea of how long it takes for more experienced Etoys hackers (as we're becoming) to produce activities while balancing the usual distractions of life.
