How is the teacher going to use the proposed functionality to ensure a<br>
consistent home view on all the XOs? Will he/she go to each XO one by<br>
one and mark the activities appropriately?<br>

<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Several scenarios:<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">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.<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">B. We add sync homeview to Gonzalo's share activity. Teacher prepares a homeview 1. Shares and asks the class to grab it.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">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.<br>
