Thanks for detailed and comprehensive report Sean. I hadn't understand the
importance of visuals and your report explained that very clearly.

aim for wider tools and approaches that take advantage of social

All very good and well thought through comments. And these points are the take
off places that many thoughtful people have arrived at over the last many
decades. One of the grandparents of this line of thinking was the Plato project

As usual you ask really good and deep questions (which I have a hard time
answering at all, let alone briefly!).
Actually, I passed out several documents to OLPC at a countries meeting a few

The issue of what to do with existing Power Point slides can probably
be handled by using Google Docs, which can import existing Power Point
