Cheers, thanks Ron. I guess I was looking for recommendations rather than lists: you know, those little tools that you wouldn't be without for xyz reason: IrfanView's batch processing, for example, is one of mine...

I'm not sure how you're going to keep that Googledoc organised in a meaningful way so posting here for now instead but I'll explain why...

For at least some of the Open Source stuff then AccessApps is poossible the best solution because will all rud from USB and therefore portable http://eduapps.org/

For tablets the range is endless e.g. see my collection/categories at https://edshelf.com/profile/ronm

edshelf allows you to create your own collection and not just mobile apps but web based apps too. Those that have already been added to the site are quick and easy to add to your own collection. You can then add new apps e.g. Xerte but these won't appear instantly. I'm still adding to my collections but worth considering using the same site for your own?

HTH

Why not share a Google doc and then everyone can see what others are entering... I suspect there will be a lot of duplication...

Hi,

I'm doing some work with a new Science and Technology academy being set up here in Nottingham: I want to compile a list of useful - and preferably free - applications for them to consider installing for students to use. They are going to provide a mix of desktop and tablet technology, so do you have any particular favourites you'd add?

I'm thinking about all aspects of web design, multimedia, coding, graphics, video, etc. If you could let me know your favourite tools in those categories that would be great,

Thanks a lot,

Julian
