While I'm sure you don't need any help on the presentation. I thought
I'd draw up a list of every discipline that I could think of and start
adding applications to have something ready to demo in every possible
field, plus the general stuff like open office,
English
Foreign Languages
eg parley http://edu.kde.org/parley/
Mathematics
http://sagemath.org/
Astronomy
http://www.shatters.net/celestia/ (suggested by Dave)
Physics
http://phet.colorado.edu/new/index.php
Chemistry
Biology
History
Geography
Music
eg https://canorus.berlios.de/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
General/back office
Open Office http://openoffice.org/
Moodle http://moodle.com/ and http://moodle.org/
Can anyone think of more to add?
Jeff.
