It will be rather a live-show than just presentation. As slides, I

show just the intro information page about the topic and me, questions &
answers slide and a closing slide. The rest will be presentation of
applications that can be used in school (both, for teachers and
students). I would be grateful if you could propose some worth-showing
apps to present.
All based on Fedora of course ;)
I believe Kushal (CC'ed) was looking for a similar set of apps. Maybe he
can help out here. Ideally we would have a Fedora Extras Edu SIG to do
this job. We are also working on comps file there to categorize
applications better.
Meanwhile depending on age group, there a number of applications ranging
from Tux typing to KDE edu set of apps at
http://edu.kde.org/ and GNOME
apps at
http://www.gnomefiles.org/subcategory.php?sub_cat_id=49.
Music and Photo managers, Chat apps like gaim (esp the ability to
connect to multiple protocols), office suites (for school work) and
games are particular attractive to teenagers.
The Free software nature of Fedora also means that you dont have any
boundaries or padlocks to prevent you from learning anything in it. All
of what we provide right from the kernel to the games are all open to
learn from, modify and play with. That is also worth pointing out.
Start with things they would be interested in instead of drowning them
in the history of the project and list of sub projects.
