Making a Scary Mask

As part of my doctoral funding, I work for the International Children’s Library. I’ve been doing a lot of community building by answering the very interesting e-mails we get as well as answering and contributing to the forum.

This week, I posted a How-to on making a scary mask. It is a tie-in with the New Zealand book Sydney and the Sea Monster by David Elliot. It’s a fun book…you should check it out.

Part of me is bummed that the XO computer’s OS, Sugar, didn’t seem to pan out for the project. I am glad to see the project continuing on, and (hopefully), positively affecting cultures around the world.

Constructivism rules!
