<p dir="ltr">Conversely it's possible much/most Sugar use is now happening outside of classes (and outside of classrooms too!) in homes/libraries/cybercafes/etc at last? At this late stage in OLPC's history, and not just in Uruguay?</p>
<p dir="ltr">Is Uruguay actively using Sugar in 2016 and if so how? Who can tell urban/rural/young/old perspectives across Uruguay/Rwanda/etc in 2016?</p>
<p dir="ltr">Certainly I keep running into more and more XO laptops that have moved far beyond their originally-stated scholastic purposes...is it time for "Child/Tween/Millenial Ownership" action at long at last?!</p>

<div><div dir="ltr">Hi Dave, <div><br></div><div>At the risk of sounding like someone on snopes or politifact, that is "mostly true." However, even though it is in the classroom, it may not be during regular class time. Sometimes it will be after school in a science club or robotics club. Other times students might be working together on some kind of media projects using the Sugar Software, etc. The possibilities are almost limitedless.</div><div><br></div><div>In Uruguay, where there are many more XOs than any other country, the students are allowed to take their machines home. They may be using them at home to complete a special assignment or conduct some simple scientific research. Sometimes they might also be sharing it with parents or grandparents, teaching them how to use it.</div><div><br></div><div>But, yes, most are probably being used at the school, even if it may not be during regular class time.</div><div><br></div><div>Caryl<br><br><div><hr>From: <a href="mailto:dave@lab6.com" target="_blank">dave@lab6.com</a><br>Date: Sat, 23 Apr 2016 15:27:42 -0400<br>Subject: Re: [IAEP] Is "Most Sugar Users Use XO Laptops" True?<br>To: <a href="mailto:sdaly.be@gmail.com" target="_blank">sdaly.be@gmail.com</a><br>CC: <a href="mailto:laura@somosazucar.org" target="_blank">laura@somosazucar.org</a>; <a href="mailto:cbigenho@hotmail.com" target="_blank">cbigenho@hotmail.com</a>; <a href="mailto:iaep@lists.sugarlabs.org" target="_blank">iaep@lists.sugarlabs.org</a><br><br><div dir="ltr"><div>Hi</div><div><br></div><div>Okay cool.</div><div><br></div><div>Laura, I agree about the importance of Spanish. <br></div><div><br>My next question: </div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px">Does anyone disagree with the assertion that "most Sugar use is in a school/classroom setting"?</span><div style="font-size:12.8px"></div></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px">Cheers<br>Dave</span></div><div><br></div></div></div></div> </div></div>
