Earlier this month, I did a presentation called "Kid's Software for Linux"
for my local Linux User Group. I covered the various projects and websites
focused on kid's software, and educational software -- both software
specifically for Linux, as well as Open Source products which are available
for Windows and Mac.
My presentation slides from that talk are online. I hope you find it useful!

I was also recently invited to a PC computer club (composed mostly of
senior citizens) to do a talk on Linux and Open Source. I did that talk
yesterday, and handed out every last copy of 'OpenOffice.org' I had on
hand, as well as a lot of "Knoppix" Live Linux CDs!
The slides to that presentation are also online. It lists a number of
very useful Open Source applications which are available for Windows
(for the folks who can't, or don't want to switch to Linux just yet),
including OpenOffice.org and the Mozilla web browser.

Both presentations are available in OpenOffice.org (and StarOffice) "Impress"
presentation format (".sxi"), as well as in Adobe Acrobat ".pdf" format,
for easy viewing in your web browser, easy printing, etc. ;^)
Enjoy!!!
