Walter,
I agree with your position about this. I often think of it in these terms:
we want to talk about depth of learning and not just proficiency in regards
to skills and content. To do that, we need to offer al alternative world
to the one that argues for more and more high stakes testing. The
Just to add my $.02, I agree with Walter and Claudia's approach in this
paper. Making the specifics of learning visible to teachers and students,
and doing the development from this perspective, I think is the best way to
go.
Thanks.

I am trying to review these.
I applied as a mentor, but when I go to the dashboard link you posted
yesterday, I don't see any projects.
What should I do?
Thanks.

Hello.
I have been asked by my school district to teach a one semester course on
computer programming to some of our high school students. I was already settled
on Python. In my planning, I thought it would be great if the students built an

This is very interesting.
I have a kind of related question. Has there been any work done for a
non-internet based email server (and XO based client)?
I know that Tony Anderson (now in Rwanda) is working in a school with no
internet access, but with the need for email-type communication.
Thanks.
Aleksey,
At the risk of asking a stupid question, what is the Sugar Network
functionality you are talking about?
Thanks.

It's a headline feature for 11.2.0 which is planned

I wanted to add that I agree with Steve.
I have been working with 5th-8th graders, many of whom love Turtle Art,

do other than press run.
