A wiki of educational software
Tweet
After my post about moving to a new school and having a Mac for the first time in 10+ years, I received more suggestions of software that I needed then I ever thought I would. I’m still going through the list and of course installing and uninstalling software as I try things out and find what I really need.
I was asked if I would create a wiki to keep track of all the cool software that people were mentioning….so….I did.
The wiki is set up and asks for software recommendations for educators and education in Windows, Mac, and Linux.
Now all it needs is software. It is open to the public so you can go ahead and start adding software recommendations without signing up for an account.
If everyone took the time to add just one piece of software it wouldn’t take us long to have an amazingly useful site.
So head on over and add just one…..that’s it! Through one….comes many!
Thanks!

What a great idea! This wiki will be very useful and helpful to us all. One question… do you want only software that must be installed? In other words, are you also interested in web-based software? Jo
