[IIAB] ScaleX12

[Tony Anderson]

Hi,

I am in Kuala Lumpur waiting on my connecting flight to the Philippines. 
I plan to be at ScaleX12.

Caryl, I would like to exhibit BERNIE (Basic Educational Resources 
Needed for Innovative Education). I will have a server loaded with the 
content which can be accessed from XO laptops or regular PCs. BERNIE now 
includes IIAB plus Khan Academy Lite plus OLE Nepal's E-Pustakalaya and 
EPaath and more.

The BERNIE version of IIAB is currently deployed at two schools in 
Lesotho, the Kliptown Youth Program in Soweto, South Africa, and Ecole 
Saint Jacob in Kigali, Rwanda. I am on my way to the Philippines where 
it will be deployed at a school in Palawan.

Since Khan Academy Lite also includes the full set of Khan Academy 
videos, the IIAB copies are not loaded on the schoolserver - no need for 
three copies of each. However, in Rwanda they are using the full English 
Wikipedia, Simple English WIkipedia, Wikipedia for Schools, and the 
French Wikipedia. (In Lesotho and Kliptown, the French Wikipedia was not 
included). In addition, the Gutenberg collection and  OpenStreetMap are 
available.

Incidentally, this is provided by the school server. No external device 
is required.

Tony
