<div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>The one laptop per child (OLPC)
or xo software is called Sugar. Sugar is both a new operating system (OS) and a
variety of educational activities (applications). Earlier this year there was
some turmoil within the OLPC project which led to Walter Bender leaving and
setting up Sugar Labs. It is open source educational activities which work in a
collaborative framework and are currently being ported to a variety of other
platforms.<br>
<br>
I've worked out how to run Sugar on Windows computers, by booting off USB keys.
This means that the software can be tested and evaluated in the industrialised
world even though the xo's are hard to obtain, being earmarked for the
developing world.<br>
<br>
Students in a year 10 class at my school are currently evaluating Sugar
activities. Details can be found here:<br>
