If education is learning about the world, there is essentially nothing that can not be considered as having at least potential educational value. There are of course different degrees of educational value, but using it by itself as a criterion is much too simplistic. (In the context of pornography, we've separated out recreation from education, but I don't see how any imaginative form of expression has a clear line between the two).

I recommend that people not confuse "educational" with "pedagogical" or try to divorce its interpretation from the context of the particular project. Historical records have educational value, for example, even when those records are not created for pedagogical purposes.

May then we have a clear definition of what "educational value" is? I feel very confused about its meaning.
