I notice it already has support for ÷ and ×, which coincidentally the XO 
has keys for.

It seems like an activity to me, but how an activity based on HTML and 
Javascript might work is an open question.  A question that should be 
answered.

There's also things like persistence that would come up.  Ideally you 
could write programs and save them and share them.  Also, the images you 
make should also be shareable.  And it should be possible to use those 
images elsewhere in the system.  So it should fit in with the journal.

This seems like a nice, concrete activity in which to think about how a 
web application can integrate with the system.
