I also think this is a great idea. There's not "too much" activity going 
on in #edubuntu so we should just invite everyone to the party. =)

This is crucial from my point of view. Teachers don't give a $&#! about 
the technology, a lot of them don't even use computers (even when 
they're available). There needs to be a real motive for teachers to want 
to work with this stuff, and if we ship actual content ready to go, then 
they don't have to worry about mastering all aspects of the programs 
they want to use (which I'd say, the majority would never want to do in 
the first place). Content is most likely the 'killer app' for education 
and the best way we could get more people to start using Edubuntu.
