linux-for-education and pyclic
Hi folks,
A lot of my time has been taken up lately by 2 external projects that are quite neat, and could use volunteers. One is the creation of a python based generic lesson plan creator. Its actually more simple than that, its basically an image a teacher loads up, places some points on, and then labels. He can then pass that on to the kids so they can fill in the labels collaboratively (like in those TV quiz shows when questions get passed from one user to another and they can ask for some letters which takes away some points.) Or the teacher can simply print these out and let the kids fill out the answers by hand (still working on the print/pdf module) You can see pyclic advances here:

The other thing I've been working on is a very complete Moodle that should contain courses about everything related to education and Linux. One of the latest things I did was add courses on how to create the perfect Ubuntu and Opensuse desktops, and a database of linux commands and their usage (lots of loving is needed for this project, so please email me if you want to get involved....) It doesnt take long to make a course and there is even how to copy courses from other sources into Li-f-e there:

and a course on why to use moodle here:
