[cross-post] X-Prize guy announces interest in education reform at SXSW, wants ideas

Casey Ransberger-2
Figured this was broadly applicable enough for a cross-post. Also left a note at the Scratch site. They're talking about bringing someone experienced on to tackle some of the bigger (read: social) challenges around education reform, and they also seem to be looking for some kind of "killer app." 

Has anyone got a killer app lying around for education that mostly just needs some very large carrot dangled and a whole lot of love to see implemented in schools?
