Hi Matt,

My name is Hazel and I worked with Robotics since
1999.  I began to work in Costa Rica, Central America,
and now I'm working in Mexico.

I work specially with teachers, I research looking for
documentation that help them, new tools, design and do
workshops (for teachers, families and childrens).

I'm an Computer Engineer (but dedicated to education
and technology) and I work with a teacher who works
principally with Microworlds.

In Robotics, we use RCX (with Robolab) and crickets.

We try to work aroun the constructivism in the
schools.

I like to be cosiderated to you to get a review book.

And I like to know about the work that Liz are doing,
too.  Maybe we can share our experiences.

Thanks.

Hi, Firstly, can I say that the book mentioned in a previous post on this thread, and its sister publication regarding Lejos, are excellent; I received evaluation copies for a new module we are developing - see later - and they are to be recommended (...)
