[OPLINTECH] Possible computer for kids

[Chad Morris]

We use AWE's Early Literacy Stations
(http://www.awelearning.com/en/markets/libraries/publiclibraries/) with no
internet access. They're rugged, kids love them, easy to use, and the come
ready to use out of the box. I've tried using Kiddix
(http://www.kiddix-computing.com/home/index.php) but found a lot of issues
with them.

We are currently using the zac browser on a locked down comp for kids.  It
has its flaws but it provides 3 things for our library:

 

1)      Kids love it because it's new to them

2)      It provides a resource to children that emphasizes learning.

3)      It's FREE!

You can build a Linux desktop with Qimo:

Of a stripped down Win 7 computer with the Zac browser (internet access) or
gcompris (no internet)

Would like to setup a computer for kids with games and educational software.
Would like to hear from everyone what they currently have setup at their
libraries to help with this.

 

Thanks again,
