| − | Baselines, Part 1: A few months ago, Tomeu Vizoso set a baseline for the Sugar "view source" functionality that had largely gone unrealized in most Activities. In the upcoming (March) release of Sugar, the default behavior of all Activities will be to have their source code opened inside of Pippy, the Python editor written by Chris Ball and maintained by C. Scott Ananian. (This is already the default behavior of Chat—try it, you'll like it.)
| + | 1. I took some time off from programming to attend Evangeline Harris Stefanakis's class at Boston University, School of Education. It is a graduate seminar in which the students are expected to do some field work. Her students are all over-achivers, each with a wealth of experience working with either pre-school or elementary-aged children, many from disadvantaged backgrounds. |
| | | | |
| − | While this is a baseline, it is clear that for many Activities, it is not sufficient. In some Activities, such as Browse, view source is geared towards the content being browsed, rather than the Browser itself. In a manner similar to the Mosaic web browser—and most browsers built since—view-source shows the HTML content from which the page is created. Browse puts a copy of the HTML content into the Journal from where it can be viewed and modified by the Write Activity.
| + | I gave a brief Sugar overview and also introduced them to the Portfolio tool. They then explored on their own for an hour or so. Prof. Stefanakis then challenged them to think of ways in which they might incorporate Sugar into their class projects. |
| | | | |
| − | It has often been argues by me (and many others) that view source is what made the web transparent and enabled any consumer of web content to become a producer. Indeed, this was the threshold through which a generation has passed—remix is a part of our culture, not just something for Trekkies and other fringe groups as observed by Henry Jenkins in the mid 1980s.
| + | Stay tuned. |
| | | | |
| − | I have been thinking about view source within the content of Turtle Art lately. I had gotten immersed in Turtle Art when some teachers on the Sur list began asking for some extensions. At the time I tried to get them to make the extensions themselves, but the floor was too high. I jumped in in order to document the process of modifying an Activity and also to try to understand first hand where the difficulties laid. My early attempts are described in the wiki ([[Patching_Turtle_Art|Patching Turtle Art]]).
| + | 2. Mel Chua has been leading the marketing-team discussions the past two weeks. She has brought a renewed energy to the group ([http://sugarlabs.org/go/MarketingTeam/Meetings/02-10-2009#The_actual_meeting log]. We are focusing on setting goals and being more structured in our approach to meeting our goals. Sean Daly's participation has given us more grounding. |
| | | | |
| − | Between Bill Kerr's subsequent questions ([[Talk:Patching_Turtle_Art|Talk:Patching Turtle Art]]) and my own experiences, I was awakened to the fact that we have a long ways to go in terms of making view source meaningful to the teacher, the student, and the potential Sugar contributor.
| + | 3. Tony Forster is even crazier than I am :). He has written "Turtle Lander" in Turtle Art (See [http://tonyforster.blogspot.com/2009/02/turtle-lander.html Turtle Lander]). Previously, I'd written a Turtle Art falling-blocks game (See [[Activities/TAPortfolio#We_got_game|We got game]]). Both of us are trying to understand the limits of Turtle Art as a language. Meanwhile, a visit to http://turtleart.org/ will give you a sense of how expressive Turtle Art can be within the more narrow domain of Art! |
| | | | |
| − | View source was central to the discussion I had with Bill Kerr and Tony Forster last week in Melbourne. We agreed that it worthwhile exploring the impact of the addition of some more steps between using an Activity and viewing the project's Python code; indeed, it would be necessary if any but the most dedicated would venture forth. Tony has braved the GNU/Linux shell to try to modify Turtle Art; he has been documenting his efforts ([http://tonyforster.blogspot.com/ Tony Forster blog]) Previously I had added an export function to Turtle Art so that the psuedo Logo generated in the graphical interface could be viewed inside a text-based, fully featured Logo environment—a one-way path towards more sophisticated programming concepts.
| + | In response to last week's discussion about collaboration, I decided to add collaboration to Turtle Art Portfolio. I wanted to see how difficult it would be and have an excuse to think about what a collaborative programming environment might look like. Try sharing Version 16 ([http://sugarlabs.org/wiki/images/e/e7/TurtleArtPortfolio-16.xo TurtleArtPortfolio-16.xo), but I wouldn't recommend more than 2 or 3 people working together at once. |
| | | | |
| − | As a result of the Melbourne discussion, I decided to take a slightly different approach. I have added two new blocks to Turtle Art (actually, at the moment, just to Turtle Art Portfolio, a fork of Turtle Art).
| + | I've also begun documenting both Turtle Art and Turtle Art Portfolio in the wiki: [[Activities/TurtleArt|Turtle Art]] and [[Actvities/TAPortfolio|Turtle Art Portfolio]]. |
| | | | |
| − | One block lets you try Python code directly into it. It can be used for simple, in-line extensions, such as added new functions from the math library. It uses a simple set of assumptions: there is one input (int or float) and one output (float), e.g., typing sin(x) into the block turns the block into the sine function. It is similar to the programmable extensions found in may environments, such as [http://rupert.id.au/schoolgamemaker/morethan.htm Gamemaker]. While I expect that this will satisfy the needs of many of those who are looking for simple extensions to the Turtle Art environment, I don't think it addresses the question of how to provide a stepping stone towards modifying Turtle Art itself—in fact, it may discourage many from every bothering to view the source code because they can make changes without having to "look under the hood."
| + | === Community jams, meet-ups, and meetings === |
| | | | |
| − | I have higher hopes for the second block I introduced. Internally it calls a Python procedure, myblock, that is currently a "nop"—it simply returns without executing any code. The idea is that myblock, which is loaded as a separate module, will be modified by the end user. When Turtle Art Portfolio is launched for the first time, it makes a copy of myblock in the Journal. It can be opened in Pippy, where it can be modified and saved back to the Journal. From within Turtle Art, you can reload the myblock module by selecting a new module from the Journal.
| + | 4. Simon Schampijer reports that "a bunch of enthusiastic Sugar developers, contributors and community members got together at FOSDEM'09 in Brussels, Belgium this weekend. In addition, a one-day pre-conference meetup took place on Friday. While a variety of topics and issues were discussed, the focus was on how make Sugar a better and more usable solution in the classroom. To that end, a closer connection with both teachers/educators and pilots/deployments that use Sugar must be forged. There also needs to be an easily accessible and central place that contains a list of suggestions for future improvements and their status (think 'Trac for teachers'). Another important need is to make simple activities that are required in the classroom, e.g. simple Maths programs, typing tutors, etc. |
| | | | |
| − | I've put some commented-out examples of what you can do with myblock into the Python code: a dotted line; some string manipulations; and the extension of the Turtle Art color space to include chroma (gray) in addition to hue and value.
| + | "In an inspiring talk given by Red Hat's Greg deKonigsberg it was emphasized that assessment of tasks and activities must also be integral part of the Sugar platform. Tomeu Vizoso outlined the opportunities in the Sugar playground for the GNOME community in his talk in the GNOME room. There were also many interesting discussions with folks from different communities such as Gnome, Gnash, Mandriva, Fedora, etc. |
| | | | |
| − | In using myblock, my typical work cycle is to switch between Turtle Art Portfolio, Pippy, and Log Viewer (so that I can see the error messages from the Python interpreter—I make a lot of mistakes as I code). The major limitation I face in the current implementation is that within Pippy I don't have access to the Turtle Art environment. I need all but rudimentary syntactic debugging in Turtle Art itself and I need to know what resources are available within that environment, which I can only find out by looking at more of the source code. (I am hoping that enough examples will help in regard to the latter issue.) Nonetheless, I hypothesize that the barrier to entry into making real modifications to Turtle Art is much lower now. I cannot wait to get feedback from the field to see if I am heading down the right path.
| + | "Notes taken at the event are posted ([[MarketingTeam/Events/FOSDEM_2009/Notes|FOSDEM 2009]])." |
| | | | |
| − | I am hoping that other Activity developers go beyond the baseline set by Tomeu. I am sure that there are many creative ways to engage in the appropriation of the tools we are creating.
| + | 5. [http://tutorius.org/blog/ Tutorius] is an open source project developed by nine computer engineering students at Sherbrooke University in Canada. Their project is based Sugar, with the simple goal of making education easier and more accessible to teachers and children around the world and also of improving education quality in general. They plan on building an interactive tutor, an Activities editor, a community website and more. |

| | | | |
| − | Baseline, Part 2: There has been an interesting discussion this week about setting a baseline for Sugar collaboration. The discussion began, ironically, when James Simmons, author of the Etexts and View Slides Activities asked how he could turn off collaboration, as it too bandwidth intensive. He got a number of replies in regard to mechanisms for removing the sharing menu on the toolbar, e.g.,
| + | 6. We could use some USB sticks for distributing Sugar on a Stick. If you know any one who might be able to donate some USB sticks, please let us know. |
| | | | |
| − | # Hide the sharing button from the activity toolbar
| + | 7. We need more testing of 0.84 as we approach the March release. |
| − | activity_toolbar = self.tbox.get_activity_toolbar()
| |
| − | activity_toolbar.share.props.visible = False
| |
| | | | |
| − | But Carol Farlow Leche took the discussion in to a different direction.
| + | === Tech Talk === |
| − | | |
| − | :I'm guessing someone has already suggested this on some list or other, but in my experience kids like to watch over each other's shoulder, and a default collaboration of "everyone watches, one person types" VNC would in my opinion be the 80 of a collaboration 80–20 rule. I think this ought to be implemented in the Sugar infrastructure, and then let activities that have an obvious extended collaboration (such as two person games or shared authorship documents) do something more.
| |
| − | | |
| − | This led to a (renewed) discussion of using VNC as a default collaboration baseline for all Activities. Chris Ball has already done a lot of the ground work necessary to make this happen (See his great demo at [http://blog.printf.net/articles/2009/01/26/multi-pointer-remote-desktop multi-pointer remote desktop]). With a bit of UI glue, we could have shared desktops in Sugar, although I don't think we'll land this feature as part of 0.84 in March.
| |
| | | | |
| − | Many others joined the discussion, including Eben Eliason, Wade Brainerd, Andrés Ambrois, Gary Martin, Martin Langhoff, C. Scott Ananian, Morgan Collett, and Ben Schwartz. Together, they came up with a nice model where by any Activity that was already "full" from the perspective of joining would be available for watching—by default through VNC.
| + | 8. Simon also reports that "we had a Sucrose 0.83.5 development release planed for 30 January; we missed that opportunity. We just did an uncoordinated release of the latest [http://download.sugarlabs.org/sources/sucrose/glucose/sugar/sugar-0.83.6.tar.bz2 sugar], [http://download.sugarlabs.org/sources/sucrose/glucose/sugar-toolkit/sugar-toolkit-0.83.5.tar.bz2 sugar-toolkit] and [http://download.sugarlabs.org/sources/sucrose/glucose/sugar-datastore/sugar-datastore-0.83.3.tar.bz2 sugar-datastore] so packagers can get those into the builds already. |
| | | | |
| − | As with view source, collaboration is a core Sugar affordance for learning. Much of the original inspiration for the Sugar collaboration comes from observing how people collaborate on the Web. But also in the classroom. As Carol observes, looking over shoulders represents a large portion of the collaboration that happens in the classroom. Undoubtedly, we should support simple mechanisms for this, although I would argue that we should not lose sight of the fact that the easiest way to look over someone's shoulder is to get out of our chair, walk over, and look. Much of the time we don't need to impose technology between children or their teachers.
| + | "The next [[DevelopmentTeam/Release/Roadmap#Schedule|Sucrose release]] is next week; this will be our Release Candidate 1. Make sure to polish everything up and get your fixes in. |
| − | | |
| − | So how should we be thinking about the VNC model? A common use of VNC in classrooms is for the teacher to single out several students to share their work with the entire class for discussion. Often a mosaic of up to 16 screens are projected in front of the class. A less common, but in my opinion just as interesting model is one that was developed in Chile: the children are assigned to small groups to work on problems. Each group is tasked with coming to consensus. The teacher then asks different groups to present their work and their hypotheses to the class as a whole.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The simplest, and arguably most powerful example of Sugar collaboration is peer editing in Write. To always be just one "click" away from inviting someone to edit your work is revolutionary. When Ben first demonstrated the Distance Activity (aka Acoustic Tape Measure) it was a revelation. It is great to see a new wave of interest in Sugar collaboration. I look forward to more awakenings.

| − | I had a conversation with a colleague at the World Bank yesterday. We discussed their textbook efforts and how it would be worth exploring some remixing ideas within the context of Sugar. Infoslicer, a tool to enable teachers to quickly and easily select web-based content to edit, package, and distribute as teaching materials, comes to mind (See [[Activities/InfoSlicer|InfoSclicer]]).

| − | :I've been putting in some more time on the SOM code the last couple of weeks (high resolution contour lines being one improvement). I wanted to bounce 2 (low-res) maps of this weeks IAEP content off the list for feedback. The first (2009-January-24-30-3-mean) uses the same fully normalized procedure as per the last month of maps (i.e height == term link density); the second (2009-January-24-30-3-corrected) has an identical cluster layout, but has its topographic height re-adjusted to bring back in the term frequency (i.e height == term link density * term frequency). I think this 2nd map gives us the undistorted term layout as seen in maps of the past month, while allowing term frequency to have some influence again over the topography (maps last year all had term frequency frequency).
