First, my bias: I don't think that we should be trying to control the
classroom through technology. Each classroom will use the tools in a manner
they choose and we can only give them the best tools we can.

Several scenarios:

A. The teacher sets the ground rules at the beginning of the year: homeview
1 is for the classroom; homeview 2 is for the kid. Asks the kids to all
sync and then things evolve slowly through the course of the school year.
Teacher says: please add TuxMath to your homeview 1. Please remove Browse.

B. We add sync homeview to Gonzalo's share activity. Teacher prepares a
homeview 1. Shares and asks the class to grab it.

The point of this patch is not so much to solve this problem as to somewhat
alleviate the need to solve it by giving the kids a separate sandbox.

regards.
