Anyone interested in discussing a collaborative version of Sage? I am
a math teacher and technology coordinator for 6-8 students. I see
HUGE potential for Sage to become more of a collaborative environment
between a teacher and students and between students.

David,
I teach grades 6-8 in the US. Effective teaching combines coaching,
projects, collaboration, personal interests and lots of feedback. My
vision is to add collaboration features so that Sage become more of a
math environment for students. This means a few things:
1. Improve the interfac

Hi,
One nuisance in mathematics is the "ln(x)" notation for natural
logarithms by students up to a certain age, followed by the "log(x)"
notation used for exactly the same thing after a certain age. So
I've always taken great pride that in Sage (and most other math
software), "log" is the right

Thank you for the link. Two more threads from Moodle:

David,
Thanks for the thoughts.
I like your idea of using additional tabs or a toolbar. My idea of
math operations could be implemented in a toolbar that sends code to a
Sage session. Although it is a UI issue, I think it important for
students to see the whole universe of possible operations

Another worry on my part: little time to devote to such projects.

I may have responded
