Hi Richard, It is really a great and exciting idea to create a solution for the children in developing areas to learn by themselves. I agree with you that TW has such potential. I think a good solution for children to learn by themselves needs to be
1. simple and attractive in its interface; 2. easy to create/edit/manage content; 3. accessible at any time, in any place. I am sure TW definitely meets 3 but needs some work on 1 and 2. What do you think?
