Thanks for all the good input. I wasn't expecting this much response! Sorry for the delay in response, other duties have kept me away from coEL.
A couple of clarifications: First, perhaps I was a tad harsh when I said that Sugar was "in no way optimized for the high school learner". I apologize if I sounded a little tough -- in fact, you've got a excellent start, it just needs a little work. But that'll come with time. I'm working on prototyping some sketches of what an ideal multitouch-enabled, high school version of Sugar would look like and will post more when I get a little further along. I do realize that there are a few OLPC deployments in the US, but my dream will only work if there are *many *deployments. See, I've thought about this, and part of the whole idea behind coEL is anywhere, anytime learning. I'd personally love to take a class (livestreamed) from another whole district. But in order for that to work, both districts would have to have coEL deployments. Also, I will look into the HIG and eBooks in detail later... thanks for the links! Is there anything else I should/can be doing to help? Thanks again, --Brett Neese
