A Free Night School kid was at the house for a party when the kids wanted to do screentime. She pointed out the Tux Typing logo so I clicked on that to get them started. I think they were all just banging on the keyboard randomly most of the time but the bigger kid was starting to point out keys. And the smaller kid would come find me to bring the app back up. They managed to log out a few times somehow. Maybe it was educational? Anyway no tech corp got more info on us during this time.

#TuxTyping #TuxType

Another Free Software Wednesday at the Local Night School. Today a lot of people worked with GCompris and TuxTyping.. At first a young woman college student started exploring GCompris and the some elementary school girls got her to to let them use it. They seemed to like doing the pair games against each other. It was the first time I ever had two mouses (mice?) connected (usb) at the same time. Two sisters 3- and 8- years old got really excited with the card-guessing game. The college young woman was a decent typist, worked through Lesson 32 with Tux Typing and did some higher level games of Comet Zap and Fish Feeding with Trees and Plants... I showed the emacs Psychotherapist and Tetris too. Got giggles. Towards the end I showed Inkscape, since it was easier for me than Gimp to start learning.. One of the staff must go to the same college as the young woman because after a very quick, very simple demonstration of DrRacket and slideshow `(slide (t "Welcom to Racket!! Slideshow!!")) (slide (circle 500))` they were thrilled and wanted me to teach programming instead of the difficult teacher they have now. That was a first! Maybe they'll find some old PCs and bring them so I can set them up with Debian machines with all the goodies, emacs, Inkscape, Racket, Gimp, GCompris, TuxPaint.... #FreeSoftwared #YoruGakkou #MimataYoruGakkou #よる学校 #三股よる学校 #自由ソフト #GCompris #TuxTyping

Free Software slot on Wednesday at Mimata's #FreeNightSchool. A new brother and sister came in and did #TuxPaint, #TuxTyping and some GCompris. Two of the three siblings from the last couple weeks came and wathed for a while then requested Drawing 追い書き The old netbook(?) doesn't have TuxPaint so I#nkScape went to work. I talked with the Mom about putting this stuff on Win10 PCs next year... I'll have to make an info sheet or something, not sure the talk/explanation is grasped much.

I did another #FreeSoftware ( #PCSavior) time slot at the local Night School. Two nice Moms brought their old laptops in, but we were all surprised out how well they still worked and not quite sure if they were ready to give up on their Office Software. While they talked of that two kids and and an after-school teacher did #TuxTyping, #TuxPaint, #SwellFoop, other #GnomeGames and G-Compris games. It seemed interesting.
I put up some photos and Japanese about the night:
