Hi Folks...
I have been watching this conversation progress since I began it last night. I
love the direction it seems to be going! The idea of making Sugar Activities
available to millions more users via an Android, platform, that so many people
already have, sounds like a dream com

Scott,
We actually are supposed to have two chapters on the subject. One was
about using WebKit in an Activity. That chapter is so far unfinished. I
had suggested to the author that he bundle this as an example:

I'm not very sure on it. Fortunately, I don't have my own tablet or

James, your points are well taken. And I wouldn't consider my list
indicative of a true trend in education. I would consider most of these
products deliver informal home edutainment. The hardware of the products
are commodity tablets with, as you say, no thought to power consumption and

JAMedia, one of the activities he made, was very useful and also
appeared in the newspaper about 4 years ago. He had uploaded all his
activities to his website and it
In the latest *Make Your Own Sugar Activities!* we'll have chapters on
making Activities using HTML 5. You can put HTML 5 inside a simple Python
Activity wrapper using WebKit. You could take the same HTML 5 and create
an Android app using Phone Gap. So you could have a certain number of

Thanks Mike
Maybe Sugarlabs should be developing for Android as a longer term strategy. It
looks like the future of kids educational computing is with Android tablets.
Can the Sugar Activities be ported to Android or is it back to the beginning?
Would it be better to concentrate on just produci
Daniel,
These are great websites. How did you find out about them?
I'll definitely add links to these in the *Where To Go From Here?* chapter
of the book.

Here's a list I compiled of some links to the crowded field of consumer

I can share some information, but I didn't learn directly in Flavio's
classroom. I started learning reading what he posts in his website[1 and 2]
about all he learned and teached, then I
Hi James,
I can ask Flavio to make a description like you suggest.
Maybe Daniel Francis can share more information too.

Gonzalo,
I've been interested in hearing more about the Python Joven too. We have a
small number of Guest Chapters in *Make Your Own Sugar Activities!,* all on
technical subjects so far, but it might be helpful to have a chapter on the
Python Joven there too. The idea would be to describe how it
