Etoys can be more than just a topic in a curriculum. It is the swiss army 
knife of the 21st century.

An interesting possibility is to get old students to create animated 
flashcards/sounds clips to teach a topic (say English) to younger students. 
Traditional flashcards just present a letter as a block. Instead, one can use a 
bug to create letter shapes with its trail so the children can also perceive 
how letters are formed.
