Free Software for Starving Students

One of my colleagues just pointed out this website: Software for Starving Students. It's a free (as in cost) CD that includes a huge assortment of software that the group has deemed essential for students: GIMP, OpenOffice, FileZilla, uTorrernt, PDFCreator, VLC, GAIM, etc. (there are many more). Controversially, the CD contains some proprietary apps as well, and while there is a version for Windows and OS X, GNU/Linux users are out of luck. Why? Well, if you're using GNU/Linux, you ought to be smart enough to find all this free software on your own!

Social networking is the center of the electronic universe for many people out there, both young and old. Alex Ragone and I talked about the new social networking site for educators, Education Bridges, Teachers Collaborating with Teachers on our live, weekly webcast, 21st Century Learning at EdTechTalk.com. Alex set up this site, and I would like to invite everyone from the Kairosnews community to come join. I think it is a nice complement to Kairos, as it serves are more of a networking place, and Kairos is more of an information stop.
