I just discovered this group for the reasons above.  I have been wanting
(at the urging of my school-teacher parents) to attempt to provide some
_good_ PD/Shareware educational software and/or find others who agree or
already do so.

What is out there? Does anyone know where to look?  What kind of things
would educators be looking for?

I would be very interested in joining a discussion like this and hope for
some varied input.
