Re: [Sugar-devel] Suggestion about feature in sin-dientes activity

 My problem is: How to allow only the teachers to customize the list words,
 and deny this feature to the regulars students?
 I use the FileChooserWidget for select a file with the new list, but is not
 a good idea that a child can do it.


I don't understand why the children can't write the word lists. I play a
hangman type of game with my niece (she is 10) and I write words for her to
guess and she writes words for me to guess. The more we play the better she
gets at choosing more difficult words.
If the students are writing their own word lists they can put in words which
are relevant to what they are learning and words they find important to the
topic, giving valuable insight to the teacher on the students understanding
of the topic.
I get students to write collaborative glossaries in courses too rather than
giving the students the words and definitions because I believe part of
grasping understanding of the topic is identifying key words and their
meaning given the context of the topic.

[Sugar-devel] Suggestion about feature in sin-dientes activity

2011-03-08 Thread Yader Velásquez
Hi community.

I'm developing a game activity (in spanish Sin dientes) similar to the
hanged man, but focus
in the children context. I'm working to a foundation that deploy a
educational project in Nicaragua
with the XO. They want add a feature that allow to the teachers to
import/customize the word list.

My problem is: How to allow only the teachers to customize the list words,
and deny this feature to the regulars students?
I use the FileChooserWidget for select a file with the new list, but is not
a good idea that a child can do it.

Would not the most simple solution to establish a social contract
between the teachers and the children about what should or should not
be changed?

Hi
I think it is a good idea if students can also create lists, its another way to 
learn literacy.

You are presumably concerned that students will 'cheat' by
a)looking in the word list
b)substitute an easier word list

The solutions might be
a)allow teachers and students to create encrypted lists
b)calculate and display a checksum of the list words

Hope that helps
Tony
