[game_edu] game education in k-12

[richard at moyaentertainment.com]

The IGDA site already has a wiki and I would propose using that one as  
it already exists.  Now it is just a matter of laying out some of the  
framework of what makes sense to put on there.

http://www.igda.org/wiki/Main_Page

There is even one for Education
http://www.igda.org/wiki/Game_Education_SIG

I believe it is quite appropriate to go that route. :)
