This is tied in with the web-ide.org project I have going with David Janzen. Here are the pieces that I think we need: - a markdown or scribble language for scripting student interactions - a nice way to integrate Whalesong with online learning - window dressing Google's been involved with our project on the App Inventor side, as well, so this could be a good fit also.
