I'm a programmer (I was acutally one of the founders of mozilla.org among other things) and I've spent the last year in the classroom teaching kids all over northern california.
Geeks, go into the classroom and work with with students and teachers. Most teachers don't know what to do with computers, web or internet. You do. You can help. Schools won't get better without your help.
I wrote some software (free of course) that you can use to have kids do meaningful stuff. Kids do their homework by typing webpages into the browser. Its available at everyschool.org
Get out there. Even one morning a week can make a huge difference.
