[GCompris-devel] Division - new activity

[B.J.]

Johnny ­ thanks for the link to the admin panel plan; I agree parents would
config once and leave it, whereas schools would be much more interested in
ongoing configuration.

Emmanuel ­ love the idea of using learning to motivate other learning :)  &
the stepping stone visual of courseŠ

Maybe many ideas but that would be great to create a workflow to chain
activities, as if you show these steps to children (you can represent them
with stones doing a path over a river) he will be motivated to go to the
last stone.
Furtumore it gives sens to what you learn. "I want to learn that, so I have
to learn that and that before".
Great idea.
