Thanks! Some of these links look good. The map drills might be the most 
useful. Also, thanks to Bruno- I had totally forgotten about gcompris... 
it's even already installed... Thanks to Dr. Wallace, ALICE is awesome! 
We're going to put that and some of Mike's links into the next image as 
bookmarks.

Thanks for the help!
