==Sugar Digest==

1. Sugar Labs will be participating in Google Code-in again this year. Ignacio
 +
Rodriguez and I are the program administrators and are gathering
 +
suggestions for bite-sized tasks in coding, documentation, research, design,
 +
and outreach. We'll also be scouring the open issues in the various
 +
Sugar-related repos for tasks. Please pass your suggestions our way. Also, if
 +
you are interested in mentoring, please contact me. Finally, it would great if
 +
you could help spread the word about the contest among educators so that we can
 +
reach out to as many potential participants as possible (the contest is open to
 +
13-17 year olds). GCI is a great opportunity to recruit new talent into the
 +
community. Details of the contest are available at [https://developers.google.com/open-source/gci/resources/contest-rules developers.google.com]. The Sugar Labs page
 +
describing our participation is at [[Google Code In 2017]].

1. In their humorous treatise on political double-speak, ''Aristotle and an Aardvark go to Washington'', Thomas Cathcart and Daniel Klein define 'contextomy' as "a subtle variation on the straw-man argument" where you ''yank'' your victim's words out of context. A straw-man argument attributes an opponent to a position that in fact they do not hold. Contextomy adds the twist that you de-contextualize a quote in order to mistate (or overstate) their position.

2. There is a new release of Music Blocks available [https://github.com/walterbender/musicblocks/releases/tag/v2.1 3]. Features include a

marked improvement in performance and lots of bug fixes. Tip of the hat to

An example of contextomy is Mark Warschauer's post, [http://edutechdebate.org/one-laptop-per-child-impact/olpc-how-not-to-run-a-laptop-program/ ''OLPC: How Not to Run a Laptop Program'']. The premise of Warschauer's article is that the 'OLPC model' is "simply passing out XOs and getting out of children’s way." No planning, no training, no teacher engagement... He goes on to say that this is an ill-advised model that does not work. In the article itself Warchauer never cites evidence that this is in fact the 'OLPC model', but in a comment he refers the reader to the OLPC mission statement as justification for his straw-man argument. Contextomy.

release.

I am not aware of any OLPC (or Sugar) deployment that in any way resembles Warshauer's straw man, in the United States or elsewhere. (The largest deployment in the United States is the city-wide deployment in Birmingham Alabama, which has involved extensive engagement of teachers, parents, the local university, libraries, churches, and other community assets. As with most deployments, there is extensive [http://www.nsf.gov/discoveries/disc_summ.jsp?cntn_id=116638 observation and longitudinal data] are beginning to become available.) Frankly, it is irresponsible for Warshauer to ignore these data. If he has any actual data to back up his position, he fails to cite it.

−
Maenwhile, in this week's IRC discussion with teachers running Sugar projects, some evidence surfaced that contradicts Warshchauer's argument. (Apologies for my poor translation of the Spanish-language original.)

[snip]
 
−
:C: It is best to hear directly from the actors themselves ...
 
−
:C: What can different group members tell us about their approaches to the training of teachers ...
 
−
:F: In Nicaragua selected schools participate in the program, then teachers are invited to
 
−
general training workshops three or two days. After that process initiated the visits and support in schools.
 
−
:C: I can share one important element in what I do personally is to make sure that teachers can experience tools in the same way I expect them to do with the children ...
 
−
:M: In Paraguay at this moment we are training teachers in seventh grade and we are developing a total of 150 hours where we develop educational issues. Principally develop their curricula in various activities.
 
−
:C: We can not expect teachers to teach in a "Constructionist", which taught for instructions ...
 
−
:J: The workshop of the last two days had a lot of participation active teachers, and they built their own learning projects
 
−
:S: J. took that approach.
 
−
:J: [The teachers] said in their evaluation that what they liked most was the process
 
−
:J: To share and create something with the other
 
−
:I: It was very fruitful because the projects were assembled collaboratively
 
−
:J: It is good to see that people value this opportunity, whether they are aware of their base "constructionist" or not
 
−
:C: Another important element ... we do not want to sell the idea that after a workshop (2, 3 or up to 5 days) we will teach ALL ... the best way to learn is by doing and using XO Activities ...
 
−
:M: The constructionist approach to ours is the challenge is that teachers so they understand
 
−
:C: M, do you mean by that develop curricula of the various activities?
 
−
:I: There is no construction without collaboration
 
−
:I: Going from theory to practice and vice versa
 
−
:M: to touch directly the issues that develop in the classroom
 
−
:F: In our workshops we work in groups or tables work, we try to have a facilitator at each table. to Teachers are provided guidelines we have developed learning here at the Foundation.
 
−
:C: According ... construction in collaboration .. I like that!
 
−
:M: for those who can not be present, there information on a web site or examples of projects?
 
−
:C: Thanks Mary ... perfect!
 
−
:C: F. ... and there is a space for teachers develop their own guidelines?
 
−
:I: They are rich in sharing desks, and guides such as built?
 
−
:S: It is simple to really understand the idea let children explore, that each child has their skills and why the proposal should be diversified classroom, for example. The Teachers are great instructions. Yesterday there were many corrections at this point.
 
−
:I: it is interesting that teachers construct their own guides ...
 
−
:F: Right. At some point the workshop alongside teachers of each level and each plan their own activities
 
−
:I: Interesting ...
 
−
:S: In Colombia we have four objectives with the Qualifications [of deployments]: 1. Create local capacity to respond to administrative, technical and related educational implementation; 2. Explore routes that allow the introduction XO's success as a teaching resource; 3. Promote culture constructionist as an innovative learning models; 4. ...

Granted, there were some legitimate and useful criticism of OLPC in the comments to Warschauer's article, but the article itself was unhelpful doublespeak.

What's new

This page is updated every few weeks with notes from the Sugar Labs community. (The digest is also sent to the community-news at sugarlabs.org list, blogged at walterbender.org, and archived here.) If you would like to contribute, please send email to walter at sugarlabs.org by the weekend. (Also visit planet.sugarlabs.org.)


Sugar Digest

1. Sugar Labs will be participating in Google Code-in again this year. Ignacio Rodriguez and I are the program administrators and are gathering suggestions for bite-sized tasks in coding, documentation, research, design, and outreach. We'll also be scouring the open issues in the various Sugar-related repos for tasks. Please pass your suggestions our way. Also, if you are interested in mentoring, please contact me. Finally, it would great if you could help spread the word about the contest among educators so that we can reach out to as many potential participants as possible (the contest is open to 13-17 year olds). GCI is a great opportunity to recruit new talent into the community. Details of the contest are available at developers.google.com. The Sugar Labs page describing our participation is at Google Code In 2017.

2. There is a new release of Music Blocks available 3. Features include a marked improvement in performance and lots of bug fixes. Tip of the hat to Devin Ulibarri, Edgar Quispe, and Euan Ong for their contributions to this release.

3. Congratulations to Lionel, Sameer, and Adam for being re-elected to the Sugar Labs oversight board. (And thanks to everyone who voted for my return to the board as well.) Our next meeting is on 3 November at 19UTC in the #sugar-meeting channel of irc.freenode.net.
