to use. We plan to use one or 2 subjects from Switched On Schoolhouse. Im looking for other software recomendations. We need Typing, anything creative (as in learning to design software, drawings, art, game design..etc.)

Also any good geography software.

Boys just received laptops compliments of our IRS....so I want to use them well.

Not looking for online subscriptions....

Kids are ages 9 and 13

For geography, this (http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/web_games.htm) is online, but it is not subscription based.

For typing, my boys loved Timon and Pumbaa (http://www.kidsclick.com/descrip/typing_timon.htm).

Any interactive free websites for science ? How about something that encourages writing?
