<div id=":u4" class="ArwC7c ckChnd"><div dir="ltr">As we communicated last week, we exposed Sugar and it's activities to Enlaces, Chilean's Edu-ICT national program (<a href="http://www.enlaces.cl/" target="_blank">http://www.enlaces.cl/</a>). We described generally the project and it's features and future implications, through a brief presentation:<br>

that we used the Sugar LiveCD, updated this september 19th, showing
various resources and activities. These were selected intentionally,
related to the K-3 level of the official curriculum. <br>

showing activities as Moon, FlipStick, Speak, we scoped in showing
e-Toys (Challenge, DemonCastle demo), Scratch, Dr. Geo features,
wanting to demonstrate the power of create/edit the resources. This
led to many concerns around the appropiation/control in teachers.
Another concern: many questions arose around the connectivity features.<br>
<br>Outcomes: we where happy to have the presence of the Enlaces
Director, who was excited and curious, so we motivated to considerate
Sugar as a end-user solution to a ICT dotation program for K-3 public
schools, to be deployed next year. Any advance, we will be happy to
communicate them.<br>
