Well, the download link works, you've selected a mirror? Then the download 
should automatically start or you can download it manually.

: Linux/Open Source in Education Resources

After talking to some people at LinuxTag, it became apparent that there hasn't 
been much interaction between the KDE Edu project and other organizations 
trying to promote Linux and Open Source in education.

So, I thought a first step would be to start to look around on the web and see 
what's out there.  I emailed several of these groups and asked them to place 
http://edu.kde.org/ in their links/resources section and joined the mailing 
lists of both SEUL and SchoolForge.  

It would be nice to start some cooperation with these groups to help get more 
exposure for KDE Edu.  If I see anything particularly exciting I'll forward 
it on to kde-edu.  

Here's what I came up with:

============================================================
*) OpenSourceSchools.org - Fostering Free & Open Source Curricula, Software 
and Thought in School

http://opensourceschools.org/

This is a really well organized site, with some rather useful information.  
One of the things that you see there is the "Linux in education report" which 
seems to come out rather often.  I'm not sure, but this may be something from 
one of the SEUL mailing lists.  More on that shortly.
============================================================
*) SEUL/edu

If I am not mistaken, KDE Edu was one of the first members of schoolforge.

Bye,

: Florida School switches to KDE from Windows

On one of the lists that I recntly mentioned joining just sent a link to this 
article.  It's about a Florida school switched over from Windows to 
Linux/KDE.  Good stuff...

-Scott

=== http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/reports/4306/1/ ===

St. Mary's School is a 450-student Pre-K through 8th grade school in 
Rockledge, Florida that has begun to embrace a Linux Terminal Server Project 
solution for their ever-expanding educational computing needs. 

In a recent interview, John Baillie, St. Mary's Technology Manager, offered 
some unique insights into the positive effects a Linux-based Technology Lab 
can have on students. Baillie's tone told the whole story... he's very proud 
of all the students and their accomplishments in the Technology Lab. 

[...] Baillie logged into one of the Linux terminals for her and went through 
the basics of navigating around the KDE desktop. [...]

: Chemistryproblefm


Hi

http://science.slashdot.org/science/02/07/15/1833214.shtml?tid=134

In short: the elements 116 and 118 are not really discovered, someone
made a fraud... Ok, does this effect Kalzium? I don't think so as chemists
don't care about those elements (they are only a "proof of concept) and
we only use stable elements...

Comments?

Carsten

Re: : Chemistryproblem

Hi Carsten ...

here is a link to the ( in opinion) best Online-Periodic-table, were you can 
get informations about the elements 116 and 118:

http://www.webelements.com/

As chemistry-teacher I must say that those elements - eg the chemical 
properties - are not really interessting for pupils and teachers.
More interessting is the way how they were found. The animated gif :-) for 
118-Uuo is really nice.
I'm a bit ashamed that I did not already test Kalzium. The properties of these 
two elements are not really important but when information about the 
apperance and the discovery are included in Kalzium I would include the two 
elements then.
Of course .. those two elements and the other very heavy elements with a 
weight over 100 will never be very important for chemistry and non-atomic 
physics because they have a too short live.

Wish you all good two weeks, because me and my husband will be at Crete ...

: funny page ;) (=?iso-8859-1?q?=DCbersetzungsprogramme=20laufen?= ammok)


Hi

I found this page: 

http://linux.bankhacker.com/de/software/Kalzium/

Quote:
"Kalzium" ist eine Anwendung für KDE, das uns auf dem periodischen System der 
Elemente Informationen zeigt.  Durch dieses Programm kann als Quelle der 
Intelligenz verwendet werden oder berät Kursteilnehmer oder Professoren, 
sogar chemische Forscher.  Zusätzlich versieht Tests mit zwei 
unterschiedlich, die unser Wissen der allgemeinen Chemie auf Zustimmung 
setzen.
Sich entwickelt durch Carsten Niehaus 

können wir die Quellen kompilieren die folgenden Kommandos einfach 
durchführend:

/bauen Sie zusammen
bilden Sie
bilden Sie anzubringen

"Kalzium" wird innerhalb eigenen Projektes KDE integriert werden.  Version 5.0 
geht in einen Moment.

: K Menu Structure

Hi all,

I would like to change - or better build - the structure of our K menu 
subfolder. Anne-Marie tried some months ago to start a discussion about it, 
but no response on the mailinglist. She proposes following structure (with 
some minor changes of mine):

*
|-- Math & Science
|   |-- Kalzium
|   |-- KGeo
|   |-- KStars
|   |-- KTimes*
|   |-- KMathTool
|   +-- KPercentage
|
|-- Words & Grammar
|   |-- KVocTrain
|   |-- Konjugate*
|   |-- KHangman
|   |-- Kiten
|   |-- KMessedWords
|   |-- KNorskVerbs
|   |-- KLatin*
|   |-- KLettres
|   +-- KVerbos
|
|-- Teaching Tools
|   +-- Keduca
|

Re: : K Menu Structure

Matthias,

I would suggest to split up each main topic (e.g. Math & Sience) into an age 
groups:

- nursery (<6 years)
- primary (6 - 11 or 12 years)
- secondary (12 - 16 years)
- uni (> 16 years)

This would provide an indication of the target group for the application.

Regards,
