Educational Freeware

Freeware author Marianne Wartoft has been producing software available as shareware or freeware for education for over a decade. She's set up a great new site, Educational Freeware, and writes:

"During my years as a freeware author, I have come across many good pieces of educational software that I would like to share with others. That's why I created this site.

The line between downloadable, installable software and online resources is getting less and less sharp - both kinds of software often serve the same purpose. I include them both on this site. The downloadable programs all run under Windows, and in some cases under Linux as well. The online resources are, of course, generally available under any operating system."

It's a fantastic project, and I wish her all the best in what will prove to be an invaluable resource for many learners. teachers and parents. On my wish list for future developments would be a submission form for readers favorite freeware sites, and perhaps a voting/comments form for sites people have used. I'd also like to see country of origin flagged up - especially important for literacy resources!

This is wonderful resource indeed. I tried compiling a number of free educational software late last week here: http://onewisdom.pbwiki.com/FreeOnlineEducationalSites
I'll be sure to add this one to the list.
