As a participant in Caroline and Walter's presentation, I agree with almost everything they said. However, the lecture/demo was helpful while waiting to get Sugar working on my machine. The Orientation piece, like Caroline listed, would have been very helpful - (us older folks need a bit of direction to be constructivist :) ) - it could have been delivered via a presentation or through a video. But either way it should be available after a workshop for reference, reteaching, and sharing with others. Another helpful piece would be a poster/grid explaining the icons. Yes, the kids will figure them out, but the adults need to feel a certain level of comfort with the icons.
As a second grade teacher, I love the balance between pre-made activities and creation of new activities. The education possibilities are amazing with that balance! I can't wait to explore all the options. I would be interested in having Sugar on a Stick work in a K12LTSP environment as well as having clear, non-technical directions for using it on other platforms. Thanks again for all your hard work and for such an amazing product! Deborah White Asa C. Adams School Orono, ME 04473
