Just want to confirm Jorge's experience that the sagecell server is a perfect for high school, especially if there tends to be hesitation/resistance from colleagues or students who don't want to mess with setting up an account regardless of how easy. I've found sagecell useful at times in the past, but now in combination with our school's gradebook/assessment software, sagecell is dynamite, an absolutely perfect fit. The system we use lets us design interactive online lessons and assessments, but the math teachers have tended to avoid it, because there's no way for the students to enter math symbolism in free response. However, with sagecell, I can set up a cell with comments and initial code, paste a link, let the kids work on it and then have them send back a link. I've been using this in my classes, and it works beautifully. The response from the kids has been 'This is so easy!'. I think the format of just one cell at a time, with nothing else going on, is excellent for them. And with @interact, it is pretty amazing what you can set up in one cell.
