In other words, what I wonder is how can we make Sugar help with the
kinds of strategies outlined here
http://keycompetencies.tki.org.nz/Monitoring . The page assumes an
adult-led environment, can we make it work even with little or no
adult leadership?

The Journal is a key part of it. Moodle -- if I can integrate it
reasonably well -- is another.
