Lots of open source stuff in our wiki

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.

Audacity, Google Sketchup, and Tux paint are the ones that spring to mind

 

I'm just going through the same process so let me know what else you come up with please!!
