Gerald, It is so good to see you!! How is the new year? I hope things are going well!! Perhaps you can share some of your project ideas with the list (in case you have not done it).

Shame on you! :-) It's so funny, this thing about Sugar and the XO being for elementary children, and then we go around serependitiously messing things up. In Bolivia Primary goes up to 8th grade... So it's OK to use them for 8th grade there and not elsewhere? In Uruguay they are trying to figure out how to make things happen as kids "graduate" Elementary as they go to Ciclo Básico Único for 7th grade, still carrying their laptops. Should they stop using them because it was not designed for them? And Richard Stallman tried (and gave up giving a peculiar excuse) to use the XO as his primary machine. I used mine for the first 2 days of the recent Book Sprint as my work laptop (later I really needed several documents open at the same time, so I had to borrow a screen to plug to my desktop, embarrassed look here) I am convinced that we are not done, by far, to find out how much we can get out of the XO, and keeping trying, while retaining some focus, is the way I suggest we follow. (personally, I think that kids younger than 4th grade are better off using the Teachermate instead, but then, that's me) Yama ___ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)

Re: [IAEP] Sugar evaluation and impact
Ian, I am just starting, and will be collecting baseline data. And my principal and superintendent and the teachers are on board for the kind of disruption, which is great. More as it happens.

Re: [IAEP] Sugar evaluation and impact
Hi Gerald, Very interested in your project and research. Did you manage to gather any baseline data on the students as independent learners before the project started? Also interested to know if the school authorities and the teachers understood the disruptive nature of the project and their commitment to including the whole school if the results are positive.

Re: [IAEP] Sugar evaluation and impact
Surely, I think everyone would be interested in your results!!! Can you share them? When you talk about independence, you refer to XXI Century Skills such as autonomy in learning, learner-centric learning?

This literature review is fantastic. I am a middle school science teacher in Northern Westchester County, NY, and am also a doctoral student at Pace University. My research project is investigating the impact of our 5th graders using the XOs (and Sugar of course) on their independence. We began this project last year, and I would be happy to share the results if anyone is interested.

[IAEP] Sugar evaluation and impact
Hello to all, regards from Santiago, Chile. Sugar Labs Chile (http://cl.sugarlabs.org), joined with the PUCV University (http://www.ucv.cl/) are going to build a proposal for public funding of curricula integration of innovational technology ( http://www.enlaces.cl/index.php?t=44&i=2&cc=624.483&tm=3), where Sugar will be deployed in it's use for 3rd graders (8-9 year old) in 15 schools (30 courses), in disciplines to be defined (at least, Lenguage and Communication). One of the requirements are that the technology had to be deployed previously and had some evaluative conclusions of it's impact. There's been a lot of announcement of different assessments of Sugar/OLPC around the world, but I would like to have your opinion on the best evaluations made to today. If they refer to latinamerican deployments would be much better. Any orientation or reference would be gladly appreciated, thanks and best wishes, werner ___ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
