Ric_ Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 *cough* http://www.edugeek.net/wiki/index.php/The_Essential_Software_List#Applications *cough* Lots of open source stuff in our wiki
willkeddie Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 That list is awesome Ric - but what about free software specifically for that age group? Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Jamo Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 That list is awesome Ric - but what about free software specifically for that age group? Any ideas would be much appreciated. Does it have to be Windows software? have you tried Edubuntu it has really good resources for that age group and is completely free.
CyberNerd Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 there is another list maintained by open source schools: Software Directory | Open Source Schools
