Academic Software
The Oak technology committee would like to facilitate the identification of useful software by teachers. What would work best?
When I selected software for the lab I created at Los Gatos High School, I had a budget to order as many titles as I wanted to review. Out of the almost 30 titles I ordered, I ended up purchasing lab packs of 16 titles. Almost all of these are in use today, 7 years later. Of the ones I did not select, I was able to return some, but not all.
Dan Burns
How about some suggestions from our fellow Oak Staff Technology Members?
• Sixth Grade?
• Fifth Grade?
• Fourth Grade?
• Third Grade - Tyson bought the new version of Kidworks but it does not work with MACOS X. Replacement Suggestions?
Primary Lab Titles?
Here is a well reputed source of reviews on children's software and media technologies http://www.childrenssoftware.com/ It is not expensive to subscribe - need a subscription to access the full database of reviews. If there is interest I would be happy to donate a subscription to the school. Tony Christopher
Mac Lab
• Need to upgrade lab to Panther and latest AppleWorks?.
Non-Academic Software
• Apple Remote Desktop Upgrade is needed
• Retrospect Server License with 2 clients is needed
• Establish policy and possibly small application for staff use to synchronize their documents folder to the server.
• Own licenses for Panther, need to upgrade campus wide
• Web Edition Collaborative Software
