One Laptop Per Child Presentation

I gave my presentation on the XO laptop today at the Nebraska Library Commission. Slides are up on karin.dalziel.org, and my notes will be up tomorrow. It’s really fun presenting about something I care a lot about- I hope I have more opportunities soon. I don’t have any other presentations coming up right now, but I am working on a couple of proposals.

I tried to use Ubuntu to present, but had trouble connecting to the projector- which means I had to cut an entire section of the presentation – the part where I am actually demoing Sugar. I need to get better at being prepared for these snafus and acting on them quickly. Also, I need to get a firmer handle on how to use Ubuntu to project.

My thanks goes out to everyone that attended! I am told a video of the presentation will be up sometime.
