The concept of a classroom situation can be entirely different to the
kind of one-on-one learning which is supremely effective in a home
situation. I think it likely to be worthwhile having two groups (two
lists) one group focussing on individual-use learning applications and
similar issues, and another focussing on classroom issues, the
monitoring and management, networking, group interaction (blackboard
apps, specialised forms of chat etc), standardisation and scaling of
results, that kind of thing.

The seul-edu projects list seems to be heavily oriented this way
already, and towards later/higher education; if kidsgames focuses on
individual-use applications and a younger audience, they should
complement each other well.
