[Sur] Turtle Art Portfolio v-7

[Walter Bender]

The little documentation I have written so far is here:

http://sugarlabs.org/go/TAPortfolio

There is a brief tutorial here:

http://sugarlabs.org/go/TAPortfolio#Quick_Tutorial

The key idea is to draw upon content that is in the Journal. So, for
example, the description text in the Journal is used as the text on
the slide. The preview image is used as the figure on the slide. The
goal is to have the learner reflect upon their work, select important
learning moments, and then create a narrative. But it can also be used
as a more conventional presentation tool, e.g., I gave my talk at LCA
-- a 40-minute lecture -- using it.

enjoy.
