[OPLINLIST] AWE Learning Stations and Alternatives?

[Chad Neeper]

>From what I observe, all the t(w)eens want in a computer is a browser that
supports Flash and a good Internet connection. From there, it's all
Minecraft, Tanki, Roblox, Agar.io, etc. Anything social, especially in
their games...

Definitely curious if anyone has had any success in finding something else
the t(w)eens want in a computer/local software, though!

2 cents,
Chad
