We are now working in a bigger web site, where we could get a more complete list, with description and/or manual of the applications and courses for the teachers to use them. Our initial plan is: - mediawiki for the list ,following the appearance of the wiki for juegalinex [2] (linex games, a dvd we built for the children to avoid they use linux at school and, windows at home to play) - moodle for the courses. There are some teachers doing screencasts of some applications [3] - Since January 2006, we have a firefox extension (aptlinex) that allows the user installing Debian packages from the web. It's a gambas application that installs the packages from the sources.list repositories, you only need to add to your web page something like: <a href=apt://tuxtype>Tux Type</a>, so users can install from the web. I think some Ubuntu people have done something similar this summer. So, the idea is: if the teacher or student just want to see some tools, he can go to the wiki, and even install the applications clicking on the web (using the ¡aptéalo! button, as you can see at [4]). If the teacher wants to know how to easily explain the Pitagoras theorem, he will be directed to the moodle site, and get the course for it, and the course will usually have short screencasts or interactive shows [5] This is the idea, and we are still at the very beginning of the development, so if it can be mixed with some other people ideas, and reduce the work load, it would be great.
