data from calif and VA; eval proposal; Evie proposal

Have not blogged in a while, various updates: received thank-you letters from AfAm high school kids in Richmond VA; lots of good data there on what they liked about the cornrows site. Made copies and sent to Chance Lewis. Same for Breakdancer--pre/post tests from Linda Rodrigues (math teacher at Logan high School in Union City CA, bless her heart)--copies sent to Chance. Tiffany and I have also worked with Chance on a proposal for supplementary funding for enhancing our evaluation (at the NSF's suggestion). Chance did a nice write-up and hopefully will submit this week.

Finally Evie sent us a fanstastic proposal for her new interface for the breakdancer tool. It is not only great for breakdancer but also gives a model for how every tool could be advanced: a general version that allows custom programming for advanced users, and a more specific, user-friendly version for beginners.
