Hello,<br><br>I'm a new volunteer with KDE, specifically with KDE-promo, and I've been asked to improve the kde-edu promotion materials being prepared for a booklet on KDE. <br><br>I'm writing to ask if there's any program in particular you would like mentioned or showcased (maybe Parley, for example?). I also wanted your input on a "Tips and tricks" section.<br>
<br>Each section of the booklet will also contain a "Tips and Tricks" subsection, to present information that may not be obvious from early use of the program. For example, this could include keyboard shortcuts for certain tasks, or additional functionality that might not be immediately apparent (like a blog preview for a blogging program or a presentation mode to a PDF viewer). So, for example, is there some tip/trick about Marble to which you would like to give greater prominence?<br>
<br>I'll basically be updating and expanding on the text pasted below, and
depending on how much content they want, I might split up the
description in Languages/Math/Misc./Science. (Anything I write will
probably be heavily edited, which is why I'm comfortable taking on a
task about programs I'm not very familiar with.)<br>
<br>Thanks for your advice. I appreciate your time.<br><br>Vivek<br><br><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Current draft text for KDE-edu in booklet:<br>
Learn new languages, practice touch typing or explore geometry, physics
and math with the educational applications by the KDE community.
Younger children can learn to deal with fractions and percentages with
Kpercentage, adults can do some braintraining with Blinken or
KWordquiz. Students explore the night sky with KStars or the smallest
fundamentals of chemistry with Kalzium. Anyone can and explore the
world with Marble - the educational applications offer something for
everyone!</span><br>
