Jared555anyone know of a few programs that would be great to use to kind of show off to a high school science teacher (general science + physics and chemistry courses including an AP course) who is already very open about using technology in his classroom as long as he has the time available to do it?19:06
Jared555he has a smart board available, lab sensor hardware, etc.19:07
Jared555just checked and the lab sensors have manufacturer linux support19:09
Jared555no clue on the smart board19:09
HedgeMageJared555: Well, I work with younger kids, in a district way too poor to have lab equipment... but some of the things that are big hits wrt science are Atomix (it's a puzzle game, but it seems to help the kids remember what different molecules look like), kstars (astronomy program... paired with a projector you can have a DIY planetarium), and audacity (it's a recorder/editor but the manipulations got the kids interested and helped them le19:19
