An Office Suite That's Especially Designed For Kids
...OOo4kids is, as the name implies, a version of Open Office (or OpenOffice.org, hence the 3 O's) that's specially designed for use by 7 to 12 year olds. The menus are trimmed down to the bare minimum, to keep things easy...
...OOo4kids is a great idea, especially if it encourages kids to use computers for something other than playing games or social networking. The program is quick and easy to learn, and gives them a real feeling of doing grown-up things with their computer...
