[Sugar-devel] [IAEP] Sugar as a Mac Ap?

[Steven Thompson]

Thank you for your quick response Simon.


I could just use ipads with
educational Aps but I too like using something that let kids get their
hands "dirty". 

Get an Intel Classmate or
might there be hope of getting say, 10 XOs to do a research project in Japan
even. I could do this.

>The question is what you refer to when you talk about Sugar. The concept of an app is similar to the concept of an Activity in Sugar. If you want to bring educational material to the ipad you have to look at specific Apps like 'Move the turtle' which is similar to Turtle Art. 'garageband' is another one interesting for older kids.
