[game_edu] Codecademy

[Steve Graham]

I've done a little work with it. I think it does a fairly good job, but 
it may not be complete enough to use easily with 6th graders. I've used 
it with adult learners and heard the complaint that it occasionally 
takes leaps which are too big with too little content. As long as there 
is supplemental material or (preferably and) a live teacher to assist 
with such gaps, I think it might work well.

cheers,
skg
