Ultimately, it comes down to sustainability. It is my opinion that deployments are capable of building capacity and writing simple Sugar activities that they can tailor to their needs is a skill that pays off in the short term--no need to sustain Flash--and the long term--they learn to build tools to solve problems. | Ultimately, it comes down to sustainability.

2. I've been busy this week with some other programming tasks as well: enhancing Measure and Turtle Art to take advantage of stereo input: both analog audio and DC resistance modes. As a result, you can now attach multiple sensors to the microphone input of an XO 1.5 and read two channels of data. I wrote a simple [[File:TAdual-sensor-mode.png|Turtle Art program]] to paint using a photo-resistor and a mechanical switch. Try doing that in Flash!! | 2.
