Teacher-suggested free software programs

In response to my last post, a few teachers have sent me suggestions for additional free software packages they use in the classroom.

LEGO Digital Designer 1.6

...a free virtual building system available for both the Windows and Mac OSX platform

Google SketchUp
http://sketchup.google.com/
...a powerful 3-D modeling program avaiable for Windows 2000 and better and Mac OS10.3.9 and better; can be used in conjunction with Google Earth or on its own

TuxPaint

Thanks for posting these links Kathy, I hadn't seen the lego designer before. I added it to the list we're keeping of the "best free software" over at the School Computing wiki: http://schoolcomputing.wikia.com/wiki/Best_Free_Software
