The OpenEducationDisc is a compendium of software produced with students from KS1-5 in mind. Now published on a DVD, there is something here for everyone. 600 were produced for the BETT show and went like hot-cakes.
C&T is an eclectic company of drama professionals, technologists, teachers, web designers, animators and writers working with partner schools all over England to bring new, creative learning practice to students and teachers through a blend of drama, applied learning and digital technology.
The OpenEducationDisc is currently undergoing development for its next version. We have a strong line up of software focused on the national curriculum and beyond. We are looking to add a few programs mentioned previously on opensourceschools such as Numpty Physics and Scratch. if you would like to suggest any other software that you think teachers and students in Key Stage 1-5 would find useful please drop a reply to this thread.
SOS Children UK, in coordination with the Wikimedia Foundation, has released a complete 2008/9 revision of the Wikipedia Selection for Schools, which is perhaps the most successful "checked content" project derived from the English Wikipedia. Previous revisions have been distributed off-line widely across the globe including by the Shuttleworth Foundation to South Africa Schools, by the Hole in the Wall project to rural Indian children and through SOS offices worldwide.
