Re: [squeakland] [etoys-dev] [etoys-notify] [JIRA] Created: (SQ-1144) When exiting Etoys, you should be asked if you want to save your work

Kathleen wrote, on the developers list (*) : > I agree with Bert, "explicit saving is the better trade off". In the Quick Tips appendix of the new I3 book, the author says that Sugar saves automatically to the journal on exit. In the older (2011) version of Sugar that I have, this doesn't happen. Instead there is a Journal icon for explicit save. Should we document somewhere (in the I3 book or elsewhere) which versions this automatic save works in, and which it doesn't? Can the user tell merely by looking at the icons in the toolbar? http://en.flossmanuals.net/learning-with-etoys-imagine-invent-inspire/quick… > ... there are already challenges using Etoys very small up/down arrows in script tiles. There are plenty of frustrations for > learners ... This happens for me too, and it is many years since I was a young child. We should start a new thread about this in the Squeakland list, but it would be really fantastic to see some teachers or children draw some pencil and paper ( so-called lo-fi UI) mock ups for the way tile scripting should or could work. The flexibility of pencil and paper, and the desire to use Etoys, may even lead them towards something that works with both mice and the XO3 touch screen (not to mention trackballs, trackpads and interactive whiteboards.)

This is really exciting. Thank you so much to the Education team. What a fantastic Christmas present to the world. It joins a big family of Booki free books for Sugar.

[Squeakland News] Squeakland Education Team at Google Doc Camp 2012
by Rita 08 Dec '12

08 Dec '12

Starting Monday, Dec 3, six members of the education team are sitting in an office at Google in Sunnyvale, writing a book for teachers who want to teach Etoys in their classroom. We, that are Kathleen Harness, Avigail Snir, Kathleen Smith, Steve Thomas, Randy Caton and myself, Rita. We are here with two other teams, and the first day was filled with many activities getting to know each other and talking about general questions regarding writing documentation in a community for open source projects. On Tuesday afternoon, we started writing our book, starting around 9:00 am and working until 8:30 pm. These are long days, but we are perfectly provided with everything we need during the whole day (and even night, since they also pay the hotel). So we can completely concentrate on writing and discussing. This is the most wonderful time we have as a group since the last time we met face to face at Squeakfest in Wilmington 2010. On Friday, we will have a new Etoys book! -- Von Rita am 12/06/2012 04:37:00 nachm. unter Squeakland News eingestellt
