| [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7094695.stm quote] from 2007:
| |
| "change equals risk". At the time, I was speaking out against
| |
| incremental change to a global educational system that was failing to
| |
| meet the needs of our children. The ''status quo'' was failing – and is
| |
| still failing – and we embarked upon a path to do something about
| |
| it. We developed a deployable model of one-to-one computing enabling
| |
| us to advocate for a pedagogy of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructionism_%28learning_theory%29 constructionist learning], where "learning can happen most effectively
| |
| when people are also active in making tangible objects in the real
| |
| world."

We walked through lots of different approaches to using Sugar to interact with the physical world, through sensors and software (Turtle Art, Scratch, Etoys, Measure). We had them build sensors, calibrate them, and then program some activity with them. They made great progress and had lots of fun. Sugar enthusiasm abounds! |

| Sugar, there is an opportunity for using Sugar in an informal setting
| |
| as well, where, unconstrained by the "official" curriculum, the | |
| learner has more of an opportunity to dig more deeply into areas of
| |
| personal interest. In Caacupé, for example, there has been extensive
| |
| use of Saturday learning clubs. In Rwanda, informal time for the
| |
| computer is being allocated at the end of the school day.

They are going to develop tools for a pilot in Colombia. When he returns from paternity leave, he can give us an update. Also, I have been contacted by three commercial companies who are interested in working with Sugar: UK company that makes class-participation tools has ported their system to Sugar and is looking for help with pilots (they may do a pilot in Peru); a Korean company is interested in porting some Sugar apps to Android – interesting in light of the [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/iaep/2011-February/012564.html ongoing discussion] on IAEP list; and a Canadian company that has been making constructionist-like learning tools for more than 30 years. Also, OLPC France is working on a new activity to let children build stories; this is a request from a foundation in France who wants to deploy this activity in several schools by the end of April. |
| teacher. Rather, we have been encouraging "guided discovery", where
| |
| the teacher has an active role in steering the learners towards
| |
| "powerful ideas" and engaging the learners in reflection and a
| |
| critical dialogue about their work. Sugar facilitates this dialogue by
| |
| providing tools, e.g., the Journal, in support of reflection.

| :"It would take wit, insight and incredible perspective for many of them to pull back and admit: "Wait... I am prescribing the very thing I should hate. What I really ought to want are genuinely liberal markets, in which the state ensures that all players get to know and negotiate and play the great creative game from a level playing field. Yes, that will mean some "allocating" to raise up poor children to be ABLE to compete well. And yes we must allocate to take into account the needs of generations yet to come. But the thing I am devoted to is not allocation, ''per se''! The thing I am dedicated to is giving all people (including those yet to come) a fair chance to play." —David Brin

| sustainability. We have not been interested in resilience in the usual
| |
| sense of trying to sustain the ''status quo''. Rather, we are trying to
| |
| give children the capacity to grow and adapt so that they can thrive
| |
| in a changing and challenging world.
| |
| | |
| Looking forward in 2011, we have any number of technical challenges:
| |
| Python introspection, GNOME 3.0, etc. in order to advance the utility,
| |
| stability, and maintainability of our product. A recent GNOME camp
| |
| attended by Simon Schampijer and Tomeu Vizoso suggest that these are
| |
| achievable goals. We have some refactoring to do in order to better
| |
| support accessibility. Lots of minor patches in service of deployments
| |
| are being submitted by the Dextrose team (a combined effort of some of
| |
| our deployments, community members, and Activity Central employees. We
| |
| have several efforts to revitalize the Sugar-on-a-Stick and Virtual
| |
| Sugar projects, as accessibility to Sugar remains our biggest
| |
| technical challenge. (Indeed, a recent marketing survey conducted by a
| |
| team of Sloan students suggested that while 90% of those surveyed
| |
| recommend Sugar to others, only 33% of those who then try to download
| |
| Sugar are successful.)
| |
| | |
| Meanwhile, we continue to debate core issues regarding Sugar as it
| |
| relates not just to usability, but also to how Sugar impacts
| |
| learning. Towards that goal, we face social and organizational
| |
| challenges: working with deployments; working with teachers; working
| |
| with end users. Claudia Urea's [[olpc:Spanish_Chat | weekly learning chat]] has been a model
| |
| that I hope we can scale up in coming months. Pablo Flores is also
| |
| working on various models of community outreach.
| |
| | |
| Sugar is as much a service as a product. As a community we have not
| |
| put as much effort into that aspect of our offering. I am hopeful that
| |
| a large portion of our services will be offered by our growing number
| |
| of local labs. But we need to ensure adequate support for those
| |
| efforts.

| small, inexpensive, connected device was ubiquitous. We have to think
| |
| about what role these devices may play in learning and if or how Sugar
| |
| (or some derivative of Sugar) will be part of the mix, i.e., are there
| |
| aspects of Sugar that we should be exporting into the context of
| |

| | We've been doing a lot of refactoring of the code with some unexpected results: since you can share bitmaps and since you can now use the camera as a sensor, you can write a video broadcast system in Turtle Art – it takes all of three blocks (well, 7 blocks if you want it to work well). Meanwhile, Tony Forster and Guzman Trinidad have been cranking out great science and engineering projects using sensors and sounds. |

| |
|
| 6. I've been tardy in acknowledging the release of os860 from OLPC. It
| | ===In the community=== |
| is the latest "official" release for the XO-1 and XO-1.5 laptops. The
| |
| release is based on Fedora 11 and contains the latest Sugar 0.84
| |
| (including many backported patches from more recent Sugar releases)
| |
| and the GNOME desktop. See

| |
|
| |
|
| A few selected highlights (from Simon's release notes):
| | ===Tech Talk=== |
|
| |
|
| * We have significantly improved collaboration when XO-1.5 is used with no Access Points available ("under a tree"). The Neighborhood View now shows three default Ad-hoc networks (for channels 1, 6, and 11) in user-friendly icons, and XOs will auto-connect without user intervention. This behavior is similar to the "mesh" behavior on XO-1.
| | 10. Tom Gilliard (satellit) has been making steady progress on Sugar images for use in virtual machines. In particular, he is getting much better (more stable and consistent) results on MAC hardware. See [[Emulator_image_files#Other_virtual_machines]]. The Trisquel image is particularly compelling. |
|
| |
|
| * You may now share Journal entries with another learner using a USB drive or SD card. The user experience is: Martin wants to give a picture he has been drawing to Simon. He plugs in his USB drive and copies the Journal entry on the drive. Simon plugs in Martin's drive in his laptop. The entry will be shown with Martin's XO color on the drive. Simon copies Martin's entry into his Journal.
| | 11. Fred Grose has been working on SoaS-remix: a bundle of edit-liveos.py and supporting scripts to make testing and use of Sugar on a Stick easier. See [[Sugar_on_a_Stick/Sugar_Clone]]. |
|
| |
|
| * We have added support for USB2VGA adapters. You can now connect an XO to a projector over a USB2VGA adapter and project what is on your XO screen onto a screen or for many people to see.
| | 12. Yioryos Asprobounitis announced a new version of Sugar running in Puppy Linux. |
| | | See the full announcement here: [http://ftp.cc.uoc.gr/mirrors/linux/XOpup/Announce_XOpup-2.html] |
| * In this build certain activities are protected from being deleted by accident. In the activity list in the home view the erase option is disabled for those. Protected activities are: Browse, Terminal, Log, Write, ImageViewer and Record. Note that the user can still install newer versions of these activities.
