[IAEP] Home View

[Caroline Meeks]

We are getting a great discussion going on what activities should be in the
home view. I actually think this is really important.

I want to step back a step and work together on what criteria we should have
to put an activity in the home view. Here is how I've deconstructed my
thinking.


   1. We want an attractive, abundant but not cluttered ring of activities.
   2. Activities in the ring should work!
   3. Activities in the favorites ring should have most of these
   characteristics
   1. be easily engaged with by a kid or adult
      2. Not frustrating to a new user
      3. Easy to image how the activity could promote learning
      4. A free and open version of something some schools or parents are
      currently paying money for
      5. Show off the power of the system in some way (examples)
      1. Collaboration
         2. Teacher ability to structure materials

Maybe people can add and clarify this.
