We've tried this and it can work, but note that you'll need a lot more than 15 minutes. Also, it is a bit much to do all in one session: motivate Sugar, help get them up and running, and experience Sugar. Id be curious if you could figure out a way to get people to get Sugar running BEFORE the session and then use the session for "guided discovery" and discussion. Thanks for the report. -walter > _______________________________________________ > IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!) > [email protected] > http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep > -- Walter Bender Sugar Labs http://www.sugarlabs.org _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
