Amazingly simple to use and I suspect many educational uses will evolve.

Akismet : anti-spam (free for personal use)
https://akismet.com/
Automattic Kismet (Akismet for short) is a collaborative effort to make comment and trackback spam a non-issue and restore innocence to blogging, so you never have to worry about spam again.
In the spirit of helping the blogosphere as much as possible, we've decided to make Akismet free for as many people as possible. We have free API keys available for your personal blog.
"Before Akismet I was spending more time deleting spam than creating content. Now I can focus on actually blogging!" When a new comment, trackback, or pingback comes to your blog it is submitted to the Akismet web service which runs hundreds of tests on the comment and returns a thumbs up or thumbs down.
The Akismet API can be adapted for almost any application with submitted content, including forums, wikis, and contact forms.
