Paula,

Curiosity Clubhouse is currently run for teachers in three classes as an experiment. We hope to take what we’ve learned there and make an open-source version freely available. …but we’re still evaluating the level of interest classroom teachers have in something like this.

Sounds like an interesting system. Is it only available to parents? How do they got hold of the system / get acces to it?

Comment on A Drumbeat for Open Source in K-12 by Trevor M.

Hey Richard,
I have joined the wiki as you suggested. I do not have a strong background in programming, but I am definitely eager and willing to help in any way. I am an amateur graphic designer if that helps any. I’m anxious to hear more about your Drumbeat project aimed at K-12 education. I occasionally get ideas for different types of software/plug-ins, but lack the expertise to ever create any of them.

Thanks for the informative post about the iPad being used successfully in K-12 situations. It is still a raging debate and is yet to be seen how much of a difference the iPad will make in education. I have written several posts about the iPad in education at http://www.edutechnophobia.com/, but the most popular post I have written is found here http://www.edutechnophobia.com/2010/02/six-ways-the-ipad-will-transform-education/. Please check it out and provide me some feedback. Thanks.

Richard – the “Project Ideas Page” link is broken – it needs “h” at the beginning of it.

Good luck with this endeavor!

Comment on iPhone App Store Limits Education Apps by Pat Lally

Pat Lally — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 14:05:24 +0000

I am trying to find a way to purchase apps from the app store with a purchase order and there is no vehicle to do this. It is difficult for schools to be able to purchase apps for the itouches because all purchases must be made with a PO. It would be great if Apple had a separate vehicle for schools to purchase things from the itunes store.
