Packages to add to Edubuntu's 2nd CD

[Simon Ruiz]

Howdy!
 
I'll tell you two packages that I think would be very useful to have available in schools like mine (though the current versions in the official repository are inadequately out of date, and their official websites have no .deb packages; I'm working on getting .deb packages made for them, though this is my first foray into packaging.):
 
 
iTALC (italc.sourceforge.net) - intelligent Teaching And Learning with Computers - This is a classroom management tool in the Big Brother tradition of keeping tabs on what the students are doing. It also offers all kinds of neat functionality to the teacher such as allowing the teacher to display their screen onto all of the students' screens. One of the neater aspects of this is that, for heterogenous schools like mine, there is both a Linux and Windows version of both the Master and Client sides of the application.
 
SystemImager (wiki.systemimager.org) - Image deployment and update tool (for setting up one workstation the way you want it and cloning that onto however hundred workstations need to be set up, as well as making changes to that one original workstation and pushing out those updates).
 
 
HTH,
 
Simón
