A couple of possibilities:

* CMF-based weblog (Chris Withers is going to re-do Squishdot on
  top of the CMF, for instance).

* How about using the CMF to build a "You are there" simulation of
  some event, where particpants interact with the simulation by
  uploading content.  NewsItems could be used by the moderators
  to reveal the unfolding.  E.g., participants could represent
  nations at the Congress of Vienna, or states at the Constitutional
  Convention.

* Use Links and Topics to build Yahoo-style categorization of
  K12 resources.
