The article starts off with the premise that good edutainment software is needed to augment the abilities of intellectually challenged teachers. It then wanders off into promoting the cellphone as a delivery mechanism for third world countries. As a whole, I don't think the article says anything. Inexpensive laptops are a far better delivery mechanism, and if we look at our own educational problems, nearly everyone has a computer available. However, the premise that there is an opportunity to provide supplemental educational materials is valid. If you have looked at your kids textbooks, they are mostly complete junk, almost comic books in content. What I see as needed are textbook supplements/replacements. For example, instead of a one page description of the Roman Forum with a couple of pictures, how about a 15 to 30 minute interactive video game that would allow the kid to explore the forum and its time, environs, and culture. Accompany it with a Wikipedia-like text that would allow deeper exploration of the topics. I see entrepreneurial opportunities, but also a place for a collaborative effort like Wikipedia. If the initial efforts have to be monetized, a subscription plan for parents would be a good place to start.
