Learning with Gcompris (Linux Journal)
Mike Diehl takes a
look at the Gcompris education suite for younger children.
"Gcompris has a pretty simple user interface. Along the bottom of the
screen, we have buttons that let us quit, see the credits, configure the
program, and get help. Along the left side, we have icons for each game (I
mean exercise) category. As you mouse over each icon, a brief written
explanation of category is presented in the blue section of the
screen. This is a nice compromise for kids who can't read and parents who
would rather see text. The program's spoken prompts and classical music
playing in the background make Gcompris a very professional
program. Besides, everyone knows that classical music is good for
kids."
