~~I have introduced two~~ new ~~learners to Sugar on a Stick and felt the need to provide some sort of crib to get them started~~. ~~It was in the form of a postcard similar to the image here~~.

Thank you for taking the time to test this mini tutorial. The target audience is very new users.

Did it work for you? Please leave some feedback if you feel like it.

Feedback from new users would be especially appreciated. Thank you.

I have introduced two new learners to Sugar on a Stick and felt the need to provide some sort of crib to get them started. It was in the form of a postcard printed with an image similar to the one used here.

~~:'''Ideas'''~~

~~What was the first hurdle you had to overcome on day 1?~~

~~This stuff is fully covered in the Floss manual~~

~~but IMHI does not jump out at you fast enough!~~

~~Judging from the "undiscoverable" pages, others have failed to solve some very basic navigation challenges on day 1.~~

~~:'''Further Ideas ... not day 1, but sessions 2 to 10'''~~

~~:'''Presentation'''~~

~~Is conveying this information in a small image, a good idea?~~

~~What should be added or taken away?~~

~~My ambition would be to link some sort of variant of this file to:~~

~~[[Getting Started]]~~

~~[[Sugar on a Stick/Explore]]~~

~~http://en.flossmanuals.net/sugar/~~

~~and/or a Micro_Help, perhaps packaged as a one frame activity?~~

== Comments ==

This is a good idea, that when perfected, could be used in the SoaS boot animation (perhaps limited to the first few boots) or as a special help panel that appears on the first few uses of the Frame, to assist new users. Thinking in those terms might reduce the images to the essential elements to fit the Sugar design theme.

* Look at [[Sugar Creation Kit]]. It has many pertinent links to information for Users.

:It is listed in "Projects" on left panel of the Sugar Labs wiki. -- 13:00, 26 October 2011

::I had been aware of your nickname, but not your real name used in these addresses. So only now having read your profile do I see how much you have contributed. Good work. -- 30 October 2011

*Sometimes the frame will not appear (Especially if using sugar-emulator or a VM):

::To fix: hover cursor over central avitar click on "my settings/frame" and then move bottom slider all the way left.

:::Thanks, both, for feedback. Perhaps some sort of hint to check out "my settings/frame" could be included. "Crib Sheet Activity" sounds good. --[[User:Inkyfingers|Inkyfingers]] 07:30, 27 October 2011 (EDT)

That is a well written introductory manual, thanks for the link.--[[User:Inkyfingers|Inkyfingers]] 23:27, 29 October 2011 (EDT)
