Australian blogger Bill Kerr produces a CD with free and open source software (FOSS) for his students to borrow if they are so inclined. Although you can find long lists of FOSS in various places, I like this list for its brevity and quality. I especially want to find the time to check out the following:
- Celestia simulation of the universe
- GameMaker
- Wesnoth strategy game
- Blender and Pov-ray 3D graphics
- cmap concept mapping
- Audacity sound recording and editing
- Juice podcast maker
- Firefox browser
- Google desktop
- Picasa image management
- Open Office software suite

Excellent Bill, I appreciate the tip.
I've learned a great deal already from your posts and the dozens of other blogs that I am now reading on a regular basis. The educational blogs are definitely some of the best learning (and thinking) that I've experienced in quite some time.

Gamemaker?
I got this for my 12yr old son. He has made a few neat games with it.
