I imagine a future Sugar having the ability to map the location of the pointer with a software component (much like right clicking in Etoys) and then having a data model and code to link learner annotations to any active Activity or visible software element. (Container objects could reveal subobjects or respond to subsequent requests.) A 'show annotations' gesture or control would reveal the appropriate content visibly and logically tied to the current view. --[[User:FGrose|FGrose]] 17:18, 24 January 2012 (EST) | I imagine a future Sugar having the ability to map the location of the pointer with a software component (much like right clicking in Etoys, or the picker in [http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/LookingGlass GNOME 3 Looking Glass]) and then having a data model and code to link learner annotations to any active Activity or visible software element.

The Write-to-Journal-Anytime feature facilitates the process of writing notes and making reflections upon the work being conducted in an activity, while the activity is open. A new icon on the Activity Toolbar brings up a palette used to edit the activity Description Field. These notes are stored to the activity metadata, subsequently available for editing and viewing in the Journal and the Portfolio activity. | |||
