Have you noticed? When you are thinking ''how to you work this?'' the first place to look is the homepage of the activity. They are listed here [[:Category:Activities]]. If you do not find what you need, try the developer pages - [[Activities]]
 
The Chat activity provides a simple environment for discussion, whether it is between two individuals or an entire classroom.
 
Measure
 
Measure is a tool that allows children to explore and learn by connecting and observing physical phenomena and real-world events. With it, children can measure and log data and create graphs.
 
NewsReader
 
The NewsReader activity provides an interface for viewing news (RSS) feeds.
 
Draw
 
The Draw activity provides a canvas for a child or a group of children to express themselves creatively. Children can draw free-form images with a paintbrush and pencil, and use the dedicated toolbar to play and experiment with shapes. Text support, image import functionality, and an interactive placement system give children limitless ways to explore their creativity.
 
Distance
 
You can measure the distance between two laptops by measuring the length of time it takes for sound to travel between them. Along with the measure and record activities, there are many ways to use the laptop to explore the physical environment.  
 
Read an eBook
 
The laptop has a built-in eBook reader: the display rotates 180 degrees around and folds down on the keyboard, which enables you to hold the laptop like a book to read. The screen folds over the keyboard and the screen rotates, enabling you to read a book while holding the handle. Read your favorite book on the laptop while sitting outdoors in the sunlight.
 
Calculate
 
Calculate provides a generic calculator with a simple, straightforward interface. It is designed to be intuitive and readable enough for even the youngest children to use, while also supporting more complicated mathematics.
