 There should be ways in as many programs as possible to take and/or map
 input from the sensor/audio port and use it as a control.  Especially the
 music programs and programming activities.  I would add that the mic and
 maybe camera should be able to be used as inputs as well.  Mic could be
 volume ( would pitch be doable?).  Camera could just be level of activity
 in the picture, but I don't know if the computer is fast enough to be
 processing this kind of thing.

 Activities that have input possibilities should have some standard hover
 icon for input.  It might make more sense for a kid to understand inputs
 in the context of a music program, but to then see that same icon in a
 programming activity would make them think twice and wonder what they
 could do with that.

 (not sure where to put this suggestion, so please move it if there is a
 better place)
