  So let’s go through the list of things of issues:
  
  * Filtering blocked some really important, educational sites.
  * No visual editor in Wordpress because of IE 6 (it seems).
  * No ability to attach files to blogposts.
  * No Flash player.
  
  Frustrating!

  • I quickly realized that it would be useful for these teachers to have their own sticks. Thus I purchased 8 sticks (one for each teacher) and included the following apps, most of them available at portableapps.com.

    
    
    • 7-Zip Portable: Compression utility (WinZip equivalent).
    • AbiWord Portable: MS Word replacement.
    • Audacity Portable: Audio-editing utility.
    • FileZilla Portable: FTP utility.
    • Firefox Portable: Web browser.
    • GIMP Portable: Imaging editing app (Photoshop-like).
    • Open Office Portable: Includes Write, Calc, Impress, Base, Draw, Math (MS Office replacement plus).
    • VLC Portable: The best cross-platform video player (plays almost everything).
    • Opera USB: Another web-browser. I added this because it seems to have the Flash player built in the browser, Firefox Portable doesn’t.
    
    

    There are a number of other portable apps which I did not include simply because I don’t think the teachers needed the apps (too techy), yet.
