I’m working on a new part of Primary School ICT.com / Safe Search which will give game makers the ability to post scores through an API to a central database directly from their flash/web based games.
This should allow schools and content providers to get a rough estimate of the usage and impact of games in primary schools.
Although we will not be creating any games we will have a database of thousands of games (non API registered) that will cover the whole curriculum and will be displayed in an easy to use, teacher and pupil friendly interface 🙂
The coolest thing is that kids will be able to compete globally across a wide range of games, I see this as being the best way to encourage usage on top of growing communities.
I hope not to charge for this, I’m aiming to have a premium state product model where content providers pay if their API post usage goes above a certain % of visits to their resources start to excessively built their revenue stream but damage ours.
