First off is Tux4Kids. A nice set of programs that is free and open source. [url=http://sourceforge.net/projects/tuxpaint/]Tux Paint[/url] is a fun drawing/rubber stamp program. [url=http://sourceforge.net/projects/tuxmath/]Tux of Math Command[/url] is a math game with some tutorials. I think its good for k-9. [url=http://sourceforge.net/projects/tuxtype/]Tux Type[/url] is a fun typing game but not very good for actualy teaching typing. [url=http://sourceforge.net/projects/stellarium/]Stellarium[/url] has been used for about a year now to help teach astronemy in one of my schools. [url=http://www.subtangent.com]Subtangent[/url] has a number of flash games and other resources shared under a Creative Commons Non-commercial license. Google Earth and Sketchup have been used in a number of classes. One techer has the students make models of their yards in Sketchup every year. I had one teacher using iTunes and [url=http://sourceforge.net/projects/audacity/]Audacity[/url] to get grade 5-6 kids doing podcasts that he shared off the school [url=pbwiki.com]website[/url] with parents. And his [url=http://delicious.com/joevans]delicous bookmarks[/url] are a resource in and of themselves. __________________________ Eagles get sucked into jet engines and weasels are oft maligned, but beavers just make nice hats.
