Actually I think this is the perfect starting point for thinking about "tools" for teachers to communicate with us. We could send an email or write a letter to every principal in Birmingham and ask them to put a paragraph in their teacher newsletter asking for feedback on Sugar issues and what features would help them. What would we say in this paragraph? Where/how would we have them enter their feedback? How can we do it in a way that connects them with each other and empowers them to work together, since indeed, they are part of Sugar Labs they just don't know it yet. ;) > > -walter > > > -- > Walter Bender > Sugar Labs > http://www.sugarlabs.org > _______________________________________________ > IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!) > [email protected] > http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep > -- Caroline Meeks Solution Grove [email protected] 617-500-3488 - Office 505-213-3268 - Fax
