| − | 1. Just for fun, taking inspiration from a conversation with Manuel Quiñones, I added a new sample program to Turtle Art. The [https://git.sugarlabs.org/turtleart/mainline/blobs/raw/master/samples/sensors-record.tb sensor-record.tb project] lets the user draw a picture with the mouse (or touch) and generates on the fly a Turtle Art project that will reproduce the drawing. Silly, but fun nonetheless. It comes bundled with the Version 185 of Turtle Blocks. (I still have the goal to recreate all of Sugar in Turtle Art.)

[[Activities/TurtleFlags|Turtle Flags]] uses a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallery_of_sovereign-state_flags database of national flags] from the Wikipedia to present programming challenges. The first flag is Peru, which is red and white stripes. But things get more challenging from there.

[http://www.spiritualityforkids.com/ Spirituality for Kids] is a website that attempts to help children "understand the benefits of human dignity, tolerance, connecting to self, community, and the world, they are better equipped to become conscious leaders in their homes, schools and communities." I've worked with them to convert some of their material into a series of Sugar activities (See [http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4679]). Two caveats: (1) the activities contain some rather large OGV videos, so be prepared for long download times and make sure you have plenty of available disk space. (I had broken the original activity up into 6 parts to address this, but may have to break it up even further.); and (2) the content is English only at the moment. I am working with them on packaging their Spanish-language videos.

The basic idea is to make it easier for the exchange of a variety of data within a classroom setting: the Journal Share activity enables bi-directional sharing of Journal objects, facilitating the distribution of materials and resources, as well as handing in homework assignments; the Share Favorites activity enables a group of students to share their Sugar desktop favorites settings, so that when embarking on a group or class project, everyone has access to the same set of tools; the Share Stats activity enable students to share activity-usage statistics with the classroom teacher, part of a general effort to make learning visible to both students and teachers. |

| | + | Regarding statistics gathering, we've implemented an age/gender setting in the Sugar control panel so that data can be sorted by age.

| | + | 5. "Dog bites man": I've made some changes to Turtle Blocks. In response to a request from a teacher in the OLPC Charlotte deployment, I changed the way in which the coordinate rescaling works. (Chances are you didn't even know Turtle Blocks lets you transform the coordinate scale. It is done with a button on the View toolbar.) By default, the turtle coordinates are scaled to pixels: if the turtle moves forward 100, it moves 100 pixels. But traditionally, Logo is scaled from 0 to 100; in that mode, forward 100 would move the turtle from the center of the screen (0, 0) to the top of the screen (0, 100). But for young children just being to learn numeracy, they typically use only one- and two-digit numbers. So I changed the scale from 0 to 20. In this new scaling, moving forward by single digits results in a readily visible change on the screen. I now save the coordinate scaling in gconf so that the user need only set it the first time they use Turtle Blocks (or it can be set as part of a deployment's configuration.) See [http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addons/versions/4027#version-187 Turtle Blocks v187]. |
| | + | |
| | + | Speaking of Turtle Blocks, Google Summer of Code intern Marion Zepf continues to make great progress on the [[Summer_of_Code/2013/Turtle_Blocks_Python_export_project|export-to-Python extension]]. As a result of her work, Turtle Blocks projects can be exported as Python code. Our hope is that this will facilitate some of our users in making the transition from block-based programming languages to text-based programming languages, which are better suited for more complex tasks. (For example, the most complex Turtle Blocks program I have ever written uses about 1000 blocks. But Turtle Blocks itself is more than 25,000 lines of code. This suggests there is a gulf between the complexity we can reach in a block-based environment and a text-based environment.) |

| − | 7. I've been working in enhancing the intra-Sugar statistics gathering mechanism in order to "make learning visible" to the child and classroom teacher. We landed a patch to Sugar a while ago to record activity launch times (previously, just the most recent launch time was recorded). With these new data, it is possible to not just make visible which activities have been used, but also, how often each instance of an activity has been used. I've modified the [[Activities/Analyze_Journal|Analyze Journal activity]] to reflect these changes and Gonzalo Odiard and I are working on a [[Features/Classroom_management|classroom management system]] to facilitate sharing of these data between the learner and the classroom teacher. This is very early in the effort: comments and feedback most welcome. | + | 7. Daniel Narvaez announced that we have entered the final phase of the run up to the Sugar 1.0 release.
