Younger children will have difficulty using a computer. Many of Sugar's Activities are usable by older children, I think Sugar still quite suitable for grades 7-8. Older children may find the Sugar desktop restrictive and want to use the Gnome desktop for some tasks such as access to the underlying file system.<br>> <br>> Children in grades 5-6 are probably the most productive, the desire to experiment and create seems to peak around these years.<br>> <br>> Tony<br>> <br>> Hello.<br>> I'm a teacher and I am going to do master's thesis on the use of Sugar<br>> Activities (games).<br>> Can anyone tell me if there is any recommendation on the appropriate ages<br>> for activities (games)? Or do you consider this as an opposition to<br>> constructionism and the freedom of choice of the child?<br>> Where can I get more information on this subject?<br>> Sorry for my english.<br>> <br>> Thank you very much,<br>> <br>> -- <br>> Pedro Martins<br>> 966092379<br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)<br>> IAEP@lists.sugarlabs.org<br>> http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep<br></div></div> </div></body> </html>
