I wiki-fied it here: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Lesson_plan_template ...and linked to it here: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Education_Team/Lesson_Plan_resources A number of improvements suggest themselves that I'll just record here for fear of turning the wiki page into a the normal soup of half-baked ideas: * Some meta-data are lacking: - target age group - what national curriculas' areas are covered/applicable - sugar activity/-ies involved - template version number and canonical URL * Target audience: is it developers, or teachers? - developers: the template should become a text file for inclusion in a standard activity git (source code) repository - developers: a sugar widget / widget set for manipulating lesson plans could be developed; think of what MaMaMedia activities like Poll Builder show[1], but without having to put gtk widgets together to do that - teachers: this is likely to be too hard to use - teachers: this is likely to be too hard to submit somewhere - teachers: is this really where they are going to look for this type of stuff * Perhaps the real target audience is "in between": deployment volunteers trying to bridge the gap between teachers and activity developers? Martin 1. raw data is similar to: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Poll_Builder:_Lesson_1 2. Based on updating http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Education_Team/Lesson_Plan_resources , I can only say: the problem is not that there aren't enough lesson plans on the web. I definitely exceeded some mental stack frame limits browsing the dmoz.org lesson plan entries...there are a ton of "lesson plan"s out there. Perhaps someone from the yahoo directory / dmoz.org directory would be good to pull into the Education team?
