Hola! Es necesario pensar Sugar como un espacio de aprendizaje más que como software. Sugar se desarrolla de acuerdo a las características propias de los niños, ya que estos no son adultos en miniatura. Esto se contrapone con la tendencia mundial de diseñar máquinas iguales a las del mundo adultos en tamaños reducidos, infantilizando los escritorios a los que ellos están acostumbrados y utilizando aplicaciones que son valiosos para el adulto, sin tener en cuenta los proceso de aprendizaje de los niños. Esto incentiva al docente a rediseñar sus prácticas. Sugar es el mejor ambiente para potenciar los cambios en las prácticas institucionales que los educadores buscamos, dando un espacio creativo, de autoaprendizaje y de producción para los niños .
