OpenOffice.org can be a great education tool. It can teach you math as well as geometry and literature of course.
There is also some resources for teachers including cartographic graphics and writer tools.
What things do you thing can help teachers teach better with OpenOffice.org.
What could help teachers teach better using an Open Platform is collaborative editing such as in Wikis , for instance WikiEducator, a community project working collaboratively with the Free Culture Movement towards a free version of the education curriculum by 2015. Driven by the learning for development agenda we focus on:
building capacity in the use of Mediawiki and related free software technologies for mass-collaboration in the authoring of free content;
developing free content for use in schools, polytechnics, universities, vocational education institutions and informal education settings;
facilitating the establishment of community networks and collaboration with existing free content initiatives in education;
fostering new technologies that will widen access, improve quality and reduce the cost associated with providing education, primarily through the use of free content.
