Sounds like a great tool for <a href="http://participatory-scie...">participatory science</a>.

Has anyone done research using this in science teaching and learning? We are very interested in how technology can be used to support collaborations between scientists, schools and the general public and perhaps influence the way science is taught and engagement with science more generally.
