I enjoyed the video. <br><br>We've worked on Arduinos, Raspis & wearables, and got hold of a Makey-makey early on in Jan 2013 (but haven't got around to using Scratch). We see a lot of potential for using these to creatively engage students as well as teachers. <br><br>Perhaps ISOC should consider a program where chapters in different parts of the world can work together on some of these areas. For the next generation, programming would be an essential life skill (even in the developing world), and it is important to ensure they are exposed to alternative views of what programming is about.<span><font color="#888888"><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>satish<br><br><br></font></span></div><div><div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Feb 19, 2015 at 3:19 PM, Joly MacFie <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:joly@punkcast.com" target="_blank">joly@punkcast.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra"><span><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Feb 19, 2015 at 3:32 AM, Satish Babu <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sb@inapp.com" target="_blank">sb@inapp.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex"><div>Looks good, Glenn.
