Wow, thanks for posting that link – what a lovely site. It actually already feels pretty close to a possible Sugar activity, and would fit right in with the XO's hardware features. Actually, I think Record is already pretty close to a whole bunch of these features** with its shared and annotated images/audio/movies, it could be used in a similar way***.
** except for the (my opinion) design flaw where you can't share existing recordings, only ones you record after someone else joins a shared session – so no point taking a bunch of photos of things and then clicking share – no one sees anything. For a test, a while back, I set up a Record session, named it 'View out your window', took a couple of photos, and turned sharing on. A bunch of folks joined over an hour or so and left photos of their view, but they couldn't see my photos, and I could only see a thumbnail of their photos (gave a network time-out error if I tried to click a thumb). Still a fascinating exercise even if it didn't quite go to plan (showed the potential). *** If you could resume a pre-recorded Record activity *AND* then share it out, it could be a good way to do photo journal type homework or research. Perhaps needs a better playback mode (text notes and images shown at once; ability to reorder the items in the bottom pane; ability to take a photo, then record audio associated with it). Maybe if Journal item sharing arrives as some point, this will be a practical way of generating and sharing similar content.
