GCompris es una suite educativa para menores de entre 2 y 10 años con más de 190 actividades, muchas de las cuales son entretenidos juegos para aprender.
Si tenéis niños o niñas por casa, GCompris es ideal y lo disfrutan mucho.

@gcompris, visit #Kerala (#India) on holiday, but then end up helping local educational officials improve their #FreeSoftware setup, adding two new local languages to #GCompris and getting featured in national and local press.
Another newspaper cutting, but in Malayalam, a language unfortunately I can't read 😬, but there is a photo of Timothée looking on as kids work on computers in a school computer lab.
#Mageia es una excelente distro y estoy fascinado con el funcionamiento de #KDE en esta máquina #Acer. No le tenia fé, y me sorprendió gratamente. Nada que ver con el windows obsoleto.
Además estamos usando la laptop como plataforma de juegos con #Gcompris. En dos dias mi hijo aprendió a usar los botones y la ruedita del mouse haciendo click, seleccionar y arrastrar.
Asi que fue otra grata sorpresa.
KDE and its eco initiative will have a booth tomorrow at the Umweltfestival in Berlin. The event is free to attend, so come chat with us and let's talk about #endOf10
@GroupNebula563
It is running #gcompris the KDE educational suite.
Not exactly a DE, even though it allows you to start a lot of different games.

The weather is getting nicer and my Free Night School timeslot is moved from Wednesdays to Fridays for April and May. An 8 or so year old girl got into Gcompris running through Debian/Gnome on an ancient MacBook. She kept finding interesting activities in GCompris, I had never seen half the things she and was relieved she figured them by herself. I just tried t take photos of each activity using both a digital camera and a FoolPhone. I posted a bunch of photos to instagram with the AtYorugakkou mentions. That was good because a local dentist asked about setting up old computers for kids in his waiting room. So now there's an old Win7 machine set up in the dentist's waiting room and four of his staff members are acquainted with it. A lot of people seem to have old machines lying around that could become useful for somebody.. I might end up with a couple more laptops, maybe I should start visiting the nearest little clinics and hospitals and see if they'd like to Free Software machines in their waiting rooms. And make sure people can get in touch if they have old PCS they want freed up for their kids' learning...
Another Free Software Wednesday at the Local Night School. Today a lot of people worked with GCompris and TuxTyping.. At first a young woman college student started exploring GCompris and the some elementary school girls got her to to let them use it. They seemed to like doing the pair games against each other. It was the first time I ever had two mouses (mice?) connected (usb) at the same time. Two sisters 3- and 8- years old got really excited with the card-guessing game. The college young woman was a decent typist, worked through Lesson 32 with Tux Typing and did some higher level games of Comet Zap and Fish Feeding with Trees and Plants... I showed the emacs Psychotherapist and Tetris too. Got giggles. Towards the end I showed Inkscape, since it was easier for me than Gimp to start learning.. One of the staff must go to the same college as the young woman because after a very quick, very simple demonstration of DrRacket and slideshow (slide (t "Welcom to Racket!! Slideshow!!")) (slide (circle 500)) they were thrilled and wanted me to teach programming instead of the difficult teacher they have now. That was a first! Maybe they'll find some old PCs and bring them so I can set them up with Debian machines with all the goodies, emacs, Inkscape, Racket, Gimp, GCompris, TuxPaint.... #FreeSoftwared#YoruGakkou#MimataYoruGakkou#よる学校#三股よる学校#自由ソフト#GCompris#TuxTyping
We are now on our way towards our 1st reach goal. To celebrate, we have added 4 more apps to our list of adoptable apps.
Discover helps you install, remove and update your software; KolourPaint is an easy to use design program; with KRFB, you can share your desktop over a network; and #GCompris is the wildly popular educational suite with tons of fun activities for kids.

My kids are playing #gcompris' geography activity, and it occurred to me, a language nerd, that it would be awesome if we could collect the countries' names pronounced by someone local, and use those sounds for a similar activity. Of course, it's so out of this world, that I'm not gonna open an issue in their issue tracker. At best, I could start collecting them, and only open the issue when I have them all, right?
#Gcompris is a great educational tool for kids. Our 4 year old daughter is used to touch screens and I just couldn't find a way to teach her how to use the mouse. Gcompris managed to do it in 30 minutes.
She is also learning letters, basic math, etc. in the process.
