In other contexts these might be -> called programs, but we prefer to emphasize what the students can do -> with them, not where they came from. - -Definition - -> An association between a name which may mean nothing by itself and a -> description intended to convey an important idea. Frequently we need a -> different kind of association between names and ideas, such as -> pictures, animations, or actual experience. The most important purpose -> of definitions is to explain what the thing named does; another is to -> describe its uses, or as we often say its purposes; a third is to -> describe the appearance of something, so that we can recognize it when -> we see it; a fourth is to enable us to talk about the thing -> conveniently with those who already have some idea of it. Usually the -> order of importance of these purposes is entirely misunderstood. - -Favorite - -> Activity that shows in the Home view icon ring. A user can mark an -> Activity as a Favorite in the List view by clicking the star outline -> next to the Activity name. - -Frame - -> Popup rectangular border in Sugar showing View icons and active -> Activities on the top; friend icons on the right; hardware icons on -> the bottom; and icons for open documents on the left. The frame is -> activated by putting the mouse cursor into a corner of the screen, or -> optionally the side (see My Settings), or by pressing the Frame button -> on the top right of an XO keyboard.
