They are in the 6th Year of their deployment and are probably one of the most knowledgeable groups in the World on the technical and most importantly pedagogical and professional development pieces of 1:1 deployment. Enhanced Learning Strategy is presently giving some technical and professional development help to the Uruguay deployment and has been contacted by Peru and Paraguay to offer some assistance. These relationships are a major motivating factor for them to try and test Sugar in their own Mac Deployment. I believe this project will be something that is continuous due to these relationships and as soon as they begin to receive feedback, I am confident it will be passed along in a very useful way. They are also planning on or just recently have met with the Tutorious Project at Sherbrooke which just happens to be right up the road from them. <a href="http://www.tutorius.org">www.tutorius.org</a> If you have a particular set of questions for them please send them to me and I can pass them along to Ron Canuel and Team to try and get some answers.
