+classroom Module
+================
+Utility functions for use in a classroom setting. The goal of these
+functions is to make it easier for tutors to facilitate ScriptCraft
+for use by students.
+  
+classroom.allowScripting() function
+===================================
+Allow or disallow anyone who connects to the server (or is already
+connected) to use ScriptCraft. This function is preferable to granting 'ops' privileges 
+to every student in a Minecraft classroom environment.
+
+Parameters
+----------
+
+ * canScript : true or false
+
+Example
+-------
+To allow all players (and any players who connect to the server) to
+use the `js` and `jsp` commands...
+
+    /js classroom.allowScripting(true)
+
+To disallow scripting (and prevent players who join the server from using the commands)...
+
+    /js classroom.allowScripting(false)
+
+Only ops users can run the classroom.allowScripting() function - this is so that students 
+don't try to bar themselves and each other from scripting.
