Re: Teacher Package

[Barret Dolph <white129@ms7.hinet.net>]

Could we continue this thread and get a good idea of what should be done.
We could then have a page which lists programs written, being developed,
and a wish list. We could also have some control on how the programs work
together.

I should have said this earlier but the programs and ideas for education are closer to what we need in schools than games and/or education type stuff. A quick example: Reading books. These can help children learn how to read but they are mostly suitable for at home use. Classroom use is quite limited. That is, it is nice to have programs which can be used in a kind of workshop type set up where students work on their own but it isn't much of a classroom.

Another item which would be nice is a scheduler/PIM. There aren't any available for any OS which work well in a school.

I am not sure about a games package. But we do need a DATABASE!
