Lightweight Snap! intro as a "Reference" Lab

[cycomachead]

I think we should have a reference lab, that goes over some basics of Snap!

Stuff it could cover:

• Creating Accounts
• Different Saving Options
• Importing Tools and Libraries
• Open vs Import
• Where to find help (This should probably be added to the first lab as well).
• Running a block (All the places you can click)

Perhaps we should add it to the first

[cycomachead]

Among these thing should also be a section on running code and manipulating basic blocks.

• Students need to know they can click and run a block from anywhere (this includes the tools palette)
• There needs to be a section on dragging blocks into each other.

Other things we should probably include are:

• Finding help
• Cleaning up the scripts area

Most of this was in Lauren's lab 1, but it was removed. Should we work on a more fleshed out intro to Snap section that teaches only snap?

[xtitter]

I don't know that all of this was removed? At any rate, it could live outside of a topic in the course but be referenced from the course-- (the reference would be "for more information go to..." and it would be a separate topic, say)

[cycomachead]

Yeah, it's somewhere...

In any case, I agree. I think we ought to have a topic page with all the Snap! reference material in one spot, and then be able to link to it when need be. There should probably be a folder in cur/snap/reference or something.
