, 23:57, 9 July 2011→Mokurai's Tutorials
[[User:Mokurai|Mokurai]] has been working on how to teach Sugar [http://booki.flossmanuals.net/discovering-discovery/edit/ by guided discovery], rather than by explicit direction, with only the [[The Undiscoverable|necessary minimum of hints]]. At the same time, he has been working on Turtle Art examples to teach concepts of mathematics, programming, Computer Science, and physics, aiming where possible at presentations suitable for pre-literate pre-schoolers. Thus, no text, no formulas, no calculations. Those can come later in sequences on the same topics as children develop, including a transition from Turtle Art to Python, Logo, and Smalltalk, with options for other languages. However, it is necessary to provide texts, sometimes with formulas and calculations, for the teacher or parent helping the child. These will appear on Mokurai's [http://replacingtextbooks.wordpress.com/ Replacing Textbooks blog], available at [http://planet.sugarlabs.org/ PlanetSugarlabs], and will be incorporated into [[Open Education Resources]] on the Sugar Labs [[Replacing Textbooks]] [http://booki.treehouse.su/ server].
