[IAEP] Sugar minimum set

[Valerie Taylor]

Is there a minimum set of Sugar teacher/tutor training, hardware and
software that could be implemented by a community supported remedial
program that works with kids outside regular elementary school? Is
this something that could be considered and/or suggested?

A local program provides small group time as their primary learning
activities and has some computers that they use already. Most of the
software is the usual proprietary kids educational products. Their
regular program would lend itself to including basic Sugar Labs
Activities.

Are there guidelines for when Sugar Labs Activities can be beneficial
even if it isn't possible or practical to provide the all-inclusive
OLPC environment?

In this case, the computers could probably loaded with Linux and
Sugar, and would be stand-alone (without a classroom or school
server). I don't know if the machines are networked so that groups and
neighborhoods could be available.

Is anyone doing this now? Does Sugar Labs encourage this? What is a
minimum setup that could be considered? What are the "gotcha's" for
doing something like this?

To replace textbooks, is there a strategy for moving to wider use of
Sugar as part of the process?

Thanks
..Valerie

Hi Valerie,

I'm forwarding this to the list. I'm not sure who is managing the moodle
site these days.

The text can be found here:
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Sdenka_Salas_-_The_XO_Laptop_in_the_Classroom

Its a great book! I especially like the use of folk tales in Lesson 12.

Enjoy,
Caroline

You could try http://laptop.moodle.com.au/
I think Liddy Neville wrote the original version of this course

[IAEP] Update on the Sugar Labs website refresh

[Christian Marc Schmidt]

Hi everyone,

John and I wanted to give you a brief update on the status of the
website. For the last few months we had the benefit of working with
two RIT students, JT and Mike, who helped us take initial steps in
launching a new and improved public-facing website. With their help,
we identified the shortcomings of the current site and the
opportunities for (a) better articulating the Sugar value proposition
and (b) keeping the site current with events and progress made by the
developer community.

There were a few learnings along the way: While JT and Mike were able
to gather and produce a fair number of assets, it was far more
difficult to get all the content we had hoped for and which we know
does exist. This means that we will be reaching out to the community
again in a short while to help us fill in the missing pieces. In the
meantime, thank you to all of you who helped to provide content in the
first round!

Next steps are to make further traction on the UI design in order to
give us a scaffold to populate with content as it comes in. This will
be happening over the next few weeks, and we'll keep all of you
updated when there are opportunities for feedback.

Thanks, and more to come,


Christian

The welcome discussion post was added by David Farning and edited by Walter
Bender so you could try talking to them about who is managing the
http://schools.sugarlabs.org/ Moodle site.

I think this resource is probably under utilised and probably not well
publicised.

I think I have admin privileges, so I am happy to help. I don't know
much about how Moodle works, so I'll need some guidance.

Hi Walter

Can you log into Moodle? If you are an administrator, you can make
other teachers and/or administrators.

What is the objective of these Moodle courses? Were they created for
specific audiences? Would it be ok if others who are interested in
Sugar access them?

I have some experience with Moodle. I would be happy to help.

I can log in and I am an administrator, so I should be able to hand
out credentials to others.

I'll bring it up with the oversight board, but I think we should only
host projects that are available to anyone. I was a bit mystified by
the language on the home page. But I suppose we better ask each author
if that was their intention.

I could have this wrong, I would need to view the moodle resources, but I 
believe that it is a clone of a Moodle course done for OLPC Australia.

The Australian version http://laptop.moodle.com.au/ could have later edits or 
may have abandoned all the early material, I am not sure.

The original Moodle course by Liddy Neville was done for school teachers in the 
Australian deployments.

Re: [IAEP] Sugar Labs: account confirmation

[Valerie Taylor]

Liddy is listed as the teacher / owner of the course. I sent her a
message to get the "key" as the course access is restricted -
disappointing for something that is part of an open community. Hope to
hear from her and take a look around. It looks like she hasn't
accessed this site in more than a year. If the Australia original site
has been updated more recently, it would be most current.

Thanks
..Valerie
