Many of us have lots of software packages that were purchased such as Kidspiration and Timeliner.  What I didn't realize was that there are so many Free Ware software programs available until this conference.  Here are some links to some of wikis, websites, etc as suggested by presenters.  Feel free to add to this list if you have any good ideas.  Be sure they are kid friendly and SAFE.
