Suggestion of what to author: 

something with a market, i.e. for low-tech folks,
a grammar tutorial for the high school market.

For the more high-tech, multimedia game, a multimedia presentation of the 
4 standard Shakespeare plays taught in high schools:

Romeo and Juliet
Julius Caesar
Macbeth
Hamlet 
 
Teachers always have trouble making grammar interesting, and dislike devoting 
class time to reviewing the same old stuff,
and they often find it difficult to bring the plays alive to today's kids 
with only the printed page.

If you're going to spend your time developing materials, be sure you have 
a market first!

Remember, every high school in America requires four years of english, so 
 EVERY kid in America will have to learn these in some form.


 [All of the above are the opinions of a high school English teacher] 


If anyone creates one of these, please let me be a beta tester.
