I have just registered my interest as I have a number of ideas to contribute. One of the main areas I have an issue with is software manufacturers, particularly gaming software and products from our good friends at Apple, who don't offer us education site licences. There are some terrific software packages and apps available but they are never going to be used or even introduced at schools where every child must sign up and pay for access. Developers need to provide large scale access based on class or school sizes!
