(although linuxforkids.org.uk and debian Jr help quite a bit here ...)
I'd certainly recommend a look at http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-jr/packaged for anyone who hasn't already. The debian-jr project is "educational" in the broader sense - i.e. it is deliberately not focused around the needs of schools. However many of the packages listed are extremely suitable for use in primary/preparatory schools. There is some overlap with the software on the http://www.linuxforkids.org/ site mentioned. Has a write up of Monday appeared lately? I may have missed it as I'm only skimming the list whilst snowed under at work :-( - Richard Smedley btw to those who are (reasonably enough) suggesting that there is resistance to moving away from what parents and others believe pupils will encounter in the "real" world (i.e. proprietary software): As has been mentioned before - are schools about training or *education* ? ------------------------------- This mail was sent using ecmail
