Static data that doesn't need updating a lot might be easiest. I was recently suggesting the Periodic Table would make a good module. Constellations and their contained stars, some info about each star... of course such modules would take work. I'm thinking governments are especially positioned to serve the schools by this means. Moving to Python in technology and humanities subjects (not mutually exclusive) would mean using modules such as these to better communicate with a learning, studious public. Our new kind of math course would have an easier time getting off the ground if such resources were to become more available IMO.

I do to. Remember this: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Educational_content_ideas/data_sets Since then, I've identified other datasets I would like to have available like: * stats on the number and type of errors by children while learning their multiplication tables. Because I still need a way to identify easy multiplication facts from hard multiplication facts. And which facts get confused with each other. * sudoku puzzles and solutions. Because I wanted to create these: http://neoparaiso.com/imprimir/sudoku-de-fracciones.html http://neoparaiso.com/imprimir/sudoku-tablas-multiplicar.html * crossword templates. Because I want to create nice math crosswords. * conjugation of verbs in Spanish * maze structures. Though, I can create those with a little effort. * areas and subareas of economical activity. Like, you can go into Finance, and then specialize in Banking. Maybe useful for career exploration... Daniel
