Brand new to Lubuntu. Looking for direction to a good thread/group regarding the use of Lubuntu, offline, in an elementary school classroom.
Making use of out of date laptops that are too old for Windows
Class of 27 grade four students - regular stream with many levels of differentiation
Offline...
1. so I don't have to get permission by my school division technology crew to put these in the school. If I ever need to get new software or updates I would just use the hotspot from my phone.
2. so I don't have to monitor my students watching junk youtube videos when i'm not looking
3. so the computer doesn't get cluttered with junk
4. so the computer starts faster
Software - all offline...(looking for recommendations)
keyboarding - something good. I would prefer something that I could set up six or so user accounts, preferably with a password or pin, so students can progress at their own level and not mess with someone else's account. With five computers I would assign five kids to take turns on one of the computers, using the same computer all the time.
math - something that reinforces basic math facts - addition, subtraction, multiplication, division
Sight words - mostly for EAL students and students with learning disabilities who haven't yet mastered these.
Word Processor - similar to Word that students can save to hard drive or to removable usb drive
Spreadsheet - same as above
Presentation - same as above
Probably use Libreoffice - but maybe something better?
wondering what else you are using, advice, recommendations, etc.
Thanks!
