I also wondered if you have read the book, "Everything Bad is Good for You" - it has a great section on the sophistication of video games and zone of proximal development (ZPD) - something we talk about (or should talk about) in education. I think there are a lot of teachers who are fired up about Web 2.0 technologues and classroom impact, but they can't get around the administration. How can we make it a win-win for the students, these enthusiastic teachers and the frightened administrators? Lawsuits and network hacking is a valid concern - but there is SO much potential that is lost when fear rules.
