The Undiscoverable: Difference between revisions

No matter how well we do in making Sugar and the XO discoverable, there are necessarily some things that even a born lever-puller and button-clicker will not find, or will not understand. This is a list of such issues. We can consider whether some of these can be improved, but we know that there is a limit. So we have to alert teachers to these issues, and assist them to alert the children.

Nothing is 100% discoverable or 100% undiscoverable. There are many features of Sugar and the XO that can be discovered, without their use cases being in any way obvious. The question, then, is how to recognize that a student is ready for a new usage of a known feature. In other cases, the children understand immediately what a function is for, as soon as they know it exists. In those cases, you don't have to show them ~~more than once~~.

In other cases, the children understand immediately what a function is for, as soon as they know it exists. In those cases, you generally don't have to show them twice.

We should probably create a subpage for each of these issues, or point to an existing Wiki page that has the information.
