Is Educational software different from Edubuntu educational
applications?
Perhaps another item: links to CURRICULUM (and out-of-school
activities) that use the software. It isn't trivial to do worthwhile

writing and art, but it's not for math. Just say NO to Math Blaster
(commercial program for computational drill, tarted up with
animations and sound.)
