Welcome to esc3 DOT ORG ... tis the month of
Edubuntu
Edubuntu is a version of the Ubuntu operating system suitable for classroom use. As an educator you'll be able to set up a computer lab, or establish an online learning environment, in an hour or less -- then administer that environment without having to become a fully-fledged Linux geek.
Edubuntu is currently under development by the same development team that produces the wildly popular Ubuntu system. It's a customized version of Ubuntu, scheduled for initial release in October 2005 at the same time as Ubuntu 5.10.
Podcasting?
One of the "hotest technologies" today is related to audio - listening to music via ITunes or some similar application/device. This technology now "expanding/evolving" and there are applications for Educators and ISD's who "think web"! Check it out: The audio/video Revolution has begun!

Not Just Talkin' the Talk Here! Actually Waddlin' the

Have installed OpenOffice Suite on an XP box and created a
presentation about esc3 DOT ORG in OO's "native" presentation software
(part of the suite) called Impress ... even "saved as" a PowerPoint!
Hmmmm ... brings to mind ... "It's Free! It works! DUH!" :) Wanna see? Check out the presentation files yourself! :)
Have installed a version of OO especially for MacOSX called
"NeoOfficeJ"! From NeoOffice/J Home page the suite is described as:
"NeoOffice/J is a fully-featured set of office applications (including
word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, and drawing programs) for Mac
OS X. Based on the OpenOffice.org office suite, NeoOffice/J has integrated
dozens of native Mac features and can import, edit, and exchange files
with other popular office programs such as MicrosoftTM Office."
I'll vouch for that! :)
That presentation mentioned above ... exported as web via NeoOffice/J can
be viewed here! and you can download
the entire web presentation here (zip file link).
