Yeah, it really depends on what your target audience is and what kind of 
message you want to share.  For instance some people might be interested 
to learn about moodle (a course management system) or uPortal 
(www.uportal.org).  They are both institutional pieces of software ... 
handy for the business of education kinda thing rather than software 
that is instructional.

And then there is software that might be useful to instructors ... (IT 
instructors at least) like vnc2swf (makes a flash file of a vnc session, 
fantastic!)  And of course any of the technologies that would allow 
students to have their own virtual machine to do system admin tasks or 
system programming (like User Mode Linux or Xen) could be useful in 
education.

I just started a rather sorry little blog on this topic:

Its not high activity ... just as I come up with things I will put them 
there.
