Ssoftware Page
I just looked at the seul web page to start planning what I can do with teachers and how to get them involved.
Then I started to see what I could introduce to teachers. The selection of programs is good, but I think it would also make sense to offer a list of software in topical areas -- ie math, chemistry, physics, computer skills, English, Vocabulary, etc.
This has probablly been suggested. But I thought I would suggest it too. Here is a sample of what I mean. I added some software that I am planning on using at my school. The color scheme changes partway through, but I think you will will get the idea.
