Putting Sugar On A Stick

Time flies during summer. July is half over. And I realized I haven't blogged since June. I read an article about Sugar. Sugar was originally developed for the One Laptop Per Child XO-1 Netbook. Sugar is free, open-source software and runs on most computers. Its purpose is to provide every child an equal opportunity for a quality education. Sugar can be run completely from a CD or a flash drive (hence "Sugar on a Stick"). Instructions are given for preparing a flash drive for Windows, Mac, or Linux. Sugar on a stick will work in computers that have no hard drive. It can be used with older computers that we think are no longer useful. It looks like more icing on the cake of educating children.
