[school-discuss] Example teacher request for OSS

[Daniel Howard <dhhoward@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Further to Sharon and Justin's comments about making it easy for 
teachers looking for open source software applications, here is a 
request from one of my 4th grade teachers.  I scanned the App Index, and 
the applications listed under geography look more like tools to build 
something or complex GIS apps, as opposed to applications for students 
to learn basic map skills, geography, or latitude and longitude.  Anyone 
have any suggestions?  Daniel


Hi Daniel,

4^th grade team is wondering in regards to one of our IB units on
geography--

Does Linux edutainment have any programs for map skills, geography, or
latitude and longitude, etc?

Is there some open software we could download to Linux for this?

Thanks,

Craig
