I have used MapTool to RP with friends that have moved away. It works great. If any of you are looking for a solution and haven't tried it, I highly recommend it. The one thing that would be nice with Wave is the persistence factor. It would be convenient to keep game information and materials in one place were everyone can access the same versions.
I really do not understand the negative attitude towards computers in the classroom. It seems to me that people's real problems are with the school systems and how they choose to implement the computer.
People need to realize that we cannot take a horribly outdated education system and simply drop computers in front of every student. Our energies should be directed at modernizing education, with the computer in mind as the most power information tool at out disposal.
The most important reason that I can think of for this would be to help break the patterns that bind the majority of computer use. It should not be a surprise that kids consider the computer a liesure device if we don't teach them otherwise. Those of us who have already stepped beyond the "computers as entertainment" lines need to turn back and ensure that the next generation benefits from our knowledge. One of the most powerful ways of doing this would be to integrate the computer into the single most powerful influence on young people today: their school.

I would like to retain my right to tell JonKatz to FUCK OFF!
