KDE Edutainment
Many Linux users are savvy game experts. So, although computer games can be purely for fun, they also can train your mind. KDE's Edutainment suite is proof of that. The suite of packages lets users learn and have fun at the same time.
The Edutainment suite includes more than 15 packages, ranging from plain-old Hangman to Latin. Each of the packages within the KDE Edutainment Project targets children ages 3 to 18. Although most of the packages within the suite have a user interface suitable for school-age children, this is not true for complex training aids like Kalzium. Kalzium is a training tool for the periodic table of elements—nothing makes that simple!
Because there are so many packages in the Edutainment Project, I cover only three in this article. First, I give you a brief outline on KTouch, a touch-typing trainer. Next, I look into the a cornerstone of all education with KGeography. Finally, I highlight the lost knowledge of Latin with KLatin.
