So far this year in OLPC, I have learned a lot more about Scratch and all the different things that it can be used for. For example I never realized how helpful this system can be to teachers for so many different school subjects, such as math, health, and science. The booklets that we have been making as a class are going to be extremely helpful to teachers who are interested in learning about the many uses of Scratch and how they can incorporate it into their lesson plans. Also this week I was able to help Mrs. Murakami finish sorting through, cleaning, and equipping the last of the laptops with Ubuntu. While it's sad to see some of the laptops go, it's great progress to be able to check that part of this project off of the list.
Overall, this class has taught me not only about Scratch as a program, but also how it can be used to help others. Passing this valuable knowledge to kids (and adults) in Barbados or other places we've reached such as the YWCA will really make a difference. I am extremely excited to teach the kids in Barbados, and teaching the Lower School students here only heightened my excitement. I love OLPC for this amazing opportunity that can truly have an impact on so many people.
