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. After a short presentation by Rabi Karmacharya, and Dr. Saurav Dev Bhatta about the objectives of the projects, the remaining workshop was carried out on an interactive manner.

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.

Speech to the OLPC Learning Club of DC — with video
Just last week we had Bert Freudenberg in Kathmandu and last night I met w/ some more Deutsch-speakers. Who would think the German-speaking countries and Nepal would be some of the first movers on OLPC?I especially want to thank Wayan Vota of OLPCNews for organizing the meetup and putting me in touch with Christoph and Aaron.

OLE is The Great learning Exchange for Everyone
The program organized by OLE is really great thing for developing nation like Nepal. Obviously, it will be valuable for promoting IT in Nepal. It also help to connect our nation in global village. Doing volunteer in society is really great thing, I hope the OLPC workshop and OLE program guide to everyone for doing social works in coming future.

OLPC Game Jam
The fist OLPC game jam was successfully held yesterday Dec 15th 2007, at Prime College in Kathmandu. The purpose of the game jam was mainly to familiarize students, teachers and enthusiasts with squeak, its history, and how it is used to develop various applications–such as the activities developed by OLE Nepal. The event was intended to be a fun learning session rather than a programming lesson, and I can gladly say that participants enjoyed the event. About 25 people attended the event but the most interesting and an important part that made this game jam a success was diversity. There were students of different grades, teachers with various background, the extremely talented OLE development team and expert like Bert Freudenberg who talked briefly about the history of squeak and EToys, and showed some intriguing demos that set the tone for the day.
