+===Distance Activity===
+====Activity Summary====
+This activity is used to compute the distance between two computers.
+Students can measure distances to evaluate intervals between two points in
+school with the little green XO computer. Students organized in dyads should be placed
+so that the sound emitted simultaneously by each of the computers can be levied
+by the other so that the measured distance can be assessed.
+With a combination of activities, it is possible that the students use
+simultaneously and the Draw Distance.
+====Affordances of the activity====
+* Students can measure the length to go to get from one point to another.
+* Students can measure the perimeter of the classroom.
+* Students can measure the distance to make a course in Education
+physical and sports (EPS) for example.
+* Students may draw together and assess the distance between two drawings.
+====Degree of centrality of the activity====
+According to the curriculum of the fourth grade, the distance may be
+Central to the main concepts of teaching / learning
+characteristics to this grade level. The measured distances can then be
+used to calculate an area where a surface for example. The concepts
+distance measures have their place in mathematics, in the section of the
+geometry.
+Before the fourth year in Éveil 2nd year, and Draw Distance can be
+combined and become central when spatio-temporal structure.
+====Application pédagogique 1====
+''Level of study'': 4th year
+''Knowledge'': The perimeter and the half-perimeter of the rectangle
+''Savoirfaire'':
+Measure or calculate problems in situations on the perimeter and demipérimètre Rectangle
+''History'':
+Reading and analysis of statements of problems involving the calculation of perimeter and
+half-perimeter of rectangular figures. (Eg the internal perimeter of the classroom to
+using the XO).
+Statement: Identify the lengths and widths of the class, and measure distances by means
+of XO.
+The teacher can arrange the class into dyads.
+Two different dyads, each with an XO computer, identifies a length and a
+width of the classroom, and carries through the measure of the distance. Each
+side of the class is measured using the XO.
+Both XO network engaged in the give a distance measure similar to a rule
+calibrated accurately.
+Students could then use these measurements to calculate the perimeter of the classroom.
+Collaboration in dyads:
+After displaying the remote computer screens, students share
+viewing results and agree to the distance restraint.
+====Application pédagogique 2====
+''Level (s)'': 3rd grade of primary
+''Knowledge'': Metric, straight line
+''Savoirfaire'':
+Measure and compare several segments of existing right
+the environment in the home, in the classroom, in the schoolyard.
+''History'':
+Statement: Identify the distance measure, determine using the XO as provided by
+the protocol to use. Compare distances obtained on the computer screen and
+record the distances obtained in the Journal by naming them.
+Application:
+For example: the door of the class A, at the door of Class B: 10.11 meters.
+Measurements in the schoolyard can be plotted on the plan
+the school by pupils.
+Collaboration in dyads:
+Dyads distances are displayed on the screens of XO and agree to the
+actual distance.
+NB: Through this activity, teachers can help students develop skills to
+measure distances with the XO.
+====Pedagogical application 3====
+''Level of study'': 2nd year of primary
+''Knowledge": spatio-temporal structure: in front, behind, before, ... next to, far, near, around.
+''Savoirfaire'':
+Draw and / or identify an object in relation to another, or a student.
+''History'':
+Simulation of role play where one student gives orders to another student using the
+terms: before, after, on ... near, far, after, for example around
+====User Guide of the Distance====
+As a first step, it will ensure that the XO is connected to the same network
+meshed. To do this, see pages 8 and 9 of the Guide to the initiation and XO
+Sugar environment V.8.2. In the Home view, begin the activity by clicking
+the icon representing a dolphin.
+<image Home view>
+In the box Share with: select my neighborhood. Follow one of
+sharing procedures described on pages 16 and 17 of Getting Started in XO and
+Sugar environment V.8.2. The two connected XO activity can begin. Click
+Start far away.
+<image Distance screen>
+It is therefore the position of XO computers one side to another. Computers emit
+in turn a sound wave that can measure the distance between the two
+screens. This will be displayed on the screen. Ideally, the XO should be placed on the
+ground without any obstacles obstructing the sound emitted by the devices. Note that
+weather can also influence the measure. Therefore
+Atmosphere tab allows the student to enter the variables of temperature and humidity
+on so that the measures are as accurate as possible.
