+<h3>About</h3>
+
+<a href=" /education/misc/gcompris.jpg">
+<img src="/education/misc/gcompris-sm.jpg" style="float: right" 
+width="300" height="233" alt="Screenshot of the GCompris interface
+showing the various boards."/></a>
+
+<p>GCompris is a cross-platform complete educational suite for children 
+from 2 to 10 years old, and it is part of the GNU project. It includes 
+more than 40 entertaining activities that help little kids learn skills 
+such as the recognition of letters and numbers, the use of the mouse and 
+keyboard, basic algebra training, reading time on an analog clock, vector 
+drawing, language learning through games, and much more. The program 
+includes a simple text processor to produce documents with basic text
+style. Another feature is the animation tool, which can be employed as a 
+simple and effective method to support story telling, thus improving 
+communication with children and helping them to express themselves.</p> 
+
+<p>Each activity in GCompris is a "board". Boards are placed in a central
+location to the left of the screen from which the child can choose when 
+the program is started. The design based on boards makes it easy to add
+new activities or to adapt the program to specific needs. The program
+itself and all boards are available in many different languages.</p>

+
+<h3>Who's Using It</h3>
+
+GCompris is used by a large number of schools around the world with 
+excellent results. It is interesting reading the many
+<a href="http://gcompris.net/-Schools-using-it-";>comments and 
+testimonies</a> submitted by teachers of all grades who are using the
+program.
+
+<p>Being Free Software and with a board-based design, GCompris is highly
+and easily adaptable to particular environments. One example of this use 
+is the work done by the <a href="http://insight.kerala.gov.in/";>Insight 
+Project</a> of Kerala, in India. The project is using 
+and adapting the program to develop resources for children and proposing 
+an innovative usage of GCompris to support the development of cognitive 
+and motor skills of autistic children. The Insight project also 
+releases material for parents and special educators to help them 
+understand how to use the software and how to utilize it to communicate 
+with their children.</p>
+
+<h3>Motivation</h3>
+Teachers report that it is extremely easy for them to implement 
+GCompris in their curriculum since children find it intuitive and fun
+to use. The program is also an excellent resource for mentally
+challenged older children or adults.
+
+<p>In the case of the implementation by the Insight Project, it is
+important to note that generally in India the only chance of a child 
+of getting accustomed with computers is during school time. The machines 
+are often shared and children have limited time to access them 
+individually. GCompris is particularly useful in this environment 
+because there is practically no time spent on getting to understand how 
+the program works. Easy to use and intuitive, children develop quickly 
+the motor skills required to use a computer. GCompris has become an 
+important resource to speed up the child's learning process.</p>
+
+<h3>How It is Used</h3>
+
+The Insight team implemented a training module for teachers that
+provides instruction on how to use the different activities of GCompris
+when working with children with special needs, to help these children
+acquire abilities such as eye-hand coordination, memory, listening, and 
+improving the child's attention span. The module addresses different 
+levels of education, from pre-school to the primary level.
+
+<p>Gcompris is also used to help older children understand the 
+relationship between numbers, learn basic arithmetic operations, train 
+them in analytical reasoning, and to improve communicative skills as 
+well as spelling, reading and writing.</p>
+
+<h3>Results</h3>
+GCompris respects the users' fundamental freedoms and this permitted 
+the Insight developers and specialists to adapt the software to the 
+children's needs, creating new activities and boards, and proposing the
+innovative use of the program to help autistic children and their 
+parents. Teachers and parents were happy to note that this program is 
+effective in improving the academic and functional flair of an 
+intellectually challenged child.

+<p>Before addressing our subject in this section, we would like to 
+remind our readers that the word "Free" in "Free Software" <strong>does 
+not refer to price</strong> but to <strong>liberty</strong>. Free 
+Software is software that grants you <strong>freedom</strong>, namely
+the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the 
+software. To learn more, see the <a href="/philosophy/free-sw.html">
+Free Software definition</a>.</p>
+</div>
+
+<p>In these pages we present some examples to illustrate how the 
+freedoms that Free Software grants to all users have been put into 
+practice and effectively applied to improve the teaching and learning 
+processes.</p>
+
+<p>If you know of a Free Software program that is being used by an 
+educational institution for specific purposes, or has been modified or 
otherwise adapted by its users to meet their own educational needs, please let 
us know by sending an email to 
+<a href="mailto:address@hidden";>&lt;address@hidden&gt;</a>.</p>
+
+<p>This pages do not constitute an exhaustive listing of available Free
+educational programs. People who wish to migrate to Free Software or are 
+looking for a Free Libre program to accomplish a particular task, should 
+refer to the <a href="http://directory.fsf.org";>Free Software 
+Directory</a>, which consists of a catalog of more than 6,700 Free 
+programs that run on <a href="http://gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html";>
+free operating systems</a>. In particular, the 
+<a href="http://directory.fsf.org/category/educ/";>Education</a> section 
+of the Directory lists programs inherent to different levels of 
+education, from pre-elementary school to highly specialized levels, 
+including university and research.</p>
+
+<p>Some of the programs presented here, like Gcompris, are part of the 
+GNU Project. This means that developers of these programs agree to pay 
+attention to making the program work well with the rest of the 
+<a href="http://gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html";>GNU system</a>. A GNU 
+program uses the latest version of the license that the GNU Project 
+recomends in order to protect the users' fundamental freedoms. A GNU 
+program does not recommend the use of any non-free program, and it does 
+not refer the user to any non-free documentation for Free Software, as 
+defined in our campaign for 
+<a href="http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-doc.html";> 
+free documentation</a>.</p>
