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  
things even if you have good software. Perhaps this is easy for  
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.)
