Yes, I agree, this is one of the next problems we need to solve.

http://sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_as_Service_Learning is a page I hope will
evolve to have an answer. Your help is definitely requested.

SoaS-5 works well but doesn't have many interesting activities. I expect by
6 or 7 or so it'll be ready to give to a teacher.  So after Christmas break.

Join the Sugar on a Stick early adopters class on the moodle site
schools.sugarlabs.org to watch our progress in the first pilot of Sugar on a
Stick.  We currently hope to have kids playing with it summer camp and start
in the fall with one grade full deployment moving to the full school as
teachers become comfortable and equiptment is available.

Thanks!
Caroline
