One of the most important features of Sugar is the ability for students to collaborate, sharing an Activity session. This can take the form of multiple cursors in a document, multiple musical instruments, two players in a game, multiple uses in chat (as above), and so on. Note that in the screenshot above there is an icon consisting of a circle of dots. This indicates that this session of the activity is being shared, potentially among many users. An icon consisting of a single dot indicates that the session is private, with only one user. Clicking the single-dot icon opens a menu with the two choices, private or shared. |

Selecting sharing results in an activity icon appearing in the Neighborhood view, inviting others to join the session. For example: |

If you want to share with one of your friends, inside the Activity that you want share, click on the "Home" icon that says "Private" then click on the "Neighborhood" icon, like below. |

This will make it available to all other persons connected to your same Ad-hock network. An icon of the Activity you are sharing will appear in the Neighborhood view inviting others to join. To join, all they will need to do is hover over the icon of the Activity you are sharing and click join. (This is also how you join the work of others when they share with you). |

There are other Activities that show a grayed-out collaboration icon to indicate that the collaboration function is not available for them. |

The following standard Activities do not have collaboration turned on, or at all: |

About Collaborating
Talk, share and work together with your friends and peers using collaboration.
One of the most important features of Sugar is the ability for you to collaborate (chat!) and share a project that you are working on with others. This can take the form of multiple cursors in a document, multiple musical instruments, two players in a game, multiple uses in chat (as above), and so on.
If you want to share with one of your friends, inside the Activity that you want share, click on the "Home" icon that says "Private" then click on the "Neighborhood" icon, like below.
This will make it available to all other persons connected to your same Ad-hock network. An icon of the Activity you are sharing will appear in the Neighborhood view inviting others to join. To join, all they will need to do is hover over the icon of the Activity you are sharing and click join. (This is also how you join the work of others when they share with you).
