Looks great. FWIW, I had done some editing of Sam's text, included below. Understanding and creating content ----------------------------------
* Write. Make a story, poem, report or anything with write. Use formatting tools to add images or colors. Work together with friends to write together in real time. * Labyrinth. Put complex ideas on the computer. Use Labyrinth activity to mind map about new concepts, to explore new ideas or to reflect. * FotoToons. Use images and text to create comic strips. FotoToons provides many options to add motion, speech and though to creations. * Paint. Paint provides to tools to make artistic creations. Use brushes, stamps, shapes, text and images to create beautiful pictures. Learning by doing ----------------- * Turtle Blocks. Learn programming concepts with snap together blocks. Create art, animations and interactive programs in a graphics focused environment. Export your creations as SVG, PNG, or Logo and/or Python. * Physics. Create real life simulations using shapes, motors, ropes and bolts to explore physics in the world. Work collaboratively on your simulation with friends. Getting technical ----------------- * Pippy. Program applications in a simple yet powerful environment. The Python back end provides unlimited opportunities within a simple language and environment. (Programs created in Turtle Blocks can be imported into Pippy from which new Sugar activities can be created.) * Develop. Make Sugar activities within Sugar itself. Develop provides templates for new games, native and web activities as well as simple environment to edit existing activities. Exploring the wider world ------------------------- * Browse. Access the internet with Browse activity. Bookmark sites to research with friends and save sessions to the Journal to keep organized. * Get Books. Download electronic books from all over the web. Explore the classics and modern books with ease. * Read. Explore reports, documents, books and comic books with the Read activity. Bookmarking and commenting tools integrate with the Journal to allow limitless possibilities. Reflection on what you've learned --------------------------------- * Journal. The Sugar Journal provides an interface into a datastore of everything you've created in Sugar. It also provides access to files in the GNU/Linux file system and a variety of web services. The Journal also acts as a lab notebook: it contains metadata about our activities, including a description of your work and commentary on your work from others. * Portfolio. The primary approach to assessment within Sugar is to make learning visible to the user. The Portfolio provides a means to create periodic snapshots in slideshow form of representative work that shows what the learner can do, not just what s/he knows.
