[K12OSN] Kidspiration or Inspiration-like Linux software

[Jim Hays]

I, too, am looking for an Inspiration "clone".  The closest that I have 
found is FreeMind (http://freemind.sourceforge.net/).  The core is 
definitely there and it does seem to be powerful enough, but I am sure 
that our teachers will find something wrong with it because it is not 
Inspiration. 

It does look a bit too hard to use for grade school students, but, if a 
good enough template were created, I am sure that it could be used at 
the grade school level.

Kidspiration, or a reasonable facsimile thereof, would be best since we use the K12LTSP system for elementary school grades in our district.  Currently,  the Kidspiration program runs under Windows and Mac OS; however, I have sent an email to the company asking if they have plans on marketing a Linux-based version of the software.
