Speaking as a teacher, we could do the following:<br><br>report back issues that make using the Sugar interface difficult when used it in the classroom (collaborate)<br>develop and share lessons built around applications that work on Sugar (curriculum)<br>
share by word of mouth, blog and twitter with colleagues that we are using Sugar (communication)<br>ask deep and hard questions about the learning that goes on when students use Sugar (pedagogy)<br>work to answer these questions (research)<br>
and more ..<br><br>Regards Roland<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/5/9 Caroline Meeks <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:solutiongrove@gmail.com">solutiongrove@gmail.com</a>></span><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
