[IAEP] 1500 XOLiveCD in German schools

[Roland Gesthuizen]

Speaking as a teacher, we could do the following:

report back issues that make using the Sugar interface difficult when used
it in the classroom (collaborate)
develop and share lessons built around applications that work on Sugar
(curriculum)
share by word of mouth, blog and twitter with colleagues that we are using
Sugar (communication)
ask deep and hard questions about the learning that goes on when students
use Sugar (pedagogy)
work to answer these questions (research)
and more ..
