Students returned to tech energized and full of tales of tech usage over the winter break. We completed a quick email survey at the beginning of class and followed some of the latest OLPC updates.

Everyone turned in their final rough draft of the digital identity research paper.  There is no homework this week, while Jac offers comments and suggestions on the papers before the final draft is turned in 2 weeks from now.

For the remainder of the period, we explored the new lab build that was installed over the break. Some new favorites include Synchroneyes (a lab management tool that allows students to participate in group chats and share their screen work with others) and Scratch (an open-source introduction to programming and animation).
