Gardner Pilot Academy - Boston Public Schools - Allston http://www.rabbitnet.net/gpa/

GPA is partnering with Solution Grove and Sugar Labs to pilot Sugar on a Stick.

Currently they have:

  • A computer lab with about 20 EVO D500 Pentium 4 computers running Windows 2000
  • 20 new Apple laptops (OSX, hardware details unknown)
  • Each teacher has a MacBook

There are two teachers in the school especially interested in starting with Sugar

  • 4th Grade teacher wants to do portfolios
  • Science Teacher wants to pilot with the 5th grade to support a new district mandate for writing in Science.

Status for the Computer Lab

Sugar on a Stick boots with the F9.9 Boot Helper CD!

However it does not see the network card and thus there is no internet connection. F11 boots and does see the network card. We didn't get to test that it actually connected to the internet.
