rollApp is a platform for apps virtualization. We have great cloud apps collection and we are constantly expanding it. Recently we brought new great applications to the cloud: Octave, Chess, Gnumeric, Hugin, Jabref. You can launch them and try online right from the browser.

Octave is a high-level interpreted language, primarily intended for numerical computations. It provides capabilities for the numerical solution of linear and nonlinear problems, and for performing other numerical experiments. It also provides extensive graphics capabilities for data visualization and manipulation.

Chess is an 2D/3D chess game. Games can be played between human players or between human player and artificial intelligence as well. It has a clean and simple interface.

Gnumeric is a spreadsheet, a computer program used to manipulate and analyze numeric data. Gnumeric can help you keep track of information in lists, organize numeric values in columns and rows, perform and update complex calculations, create and display or print graphical plots of data, etc. Gnumeric can import and export data in several file formats.

Hugin is a panorama photo stitcher. With Hugin you can assemble a mosaic of photographs into a complete immersive panorama, stitch any series of overlapping pictures and much more. Hugin allows for the easy creation of control points between two images, optimization of the image transforms along with a preview window so the user can see whether the panorama is acceptable.

Jabref is a bibliography reference manager. It has a lot of features: advanced BibTeX editor, search functions, classification of entries, import of various formats (BibTeXML, CSA, Refer/Endnote, ISI Web of Science, SilverPlatter, Medline/Pubmed (xml), Scifinder, OVID, INSPEC, Biblioscape, Sixpack, JStor and RIS), built-in and custom export formats (HTML, Docbook, BibTeXML, MODS, RTF, Refer/Endnote and OpenOffice.org), etc

Si vous ne souhaitez pas dépenser de l’argent pour installer légalement un tableur sur votre ordinateur, Gnumeric est la solution qu’il vous faut !

Gnumeric est en effet un logiciel équivalent du célèbre Microsoft Excel, mais l’avantage de Gnumeric est d’être totalement gratuit, léger, et disponible en français.

Monday: Ntugi Secondary I met with the Computer Club members and tried to explain the working of the central processor by use of a simple analogy: That of people going to the cinema.  In this analogy...

The queue waiting outside represents the mass of data stored external to the central processor.

In the queue line, there are a certain number of patrons that can be accommodated at one time to pay for their tickets.  This represents the transfer of a block of data to the central processor.

These people then pay for their tickets one by one and this explains the interaction of data with the program or, as it is called in Sugar, the 'activity.'

After paying for the tickets, the patrons are moved into the hall where they can watch the movies. This represents the processed data which is moved ahead for storage.

And, as all  this is going on, the manager is standing by, regulating the flow of people from the queue, making sure the ticket-issuing goes on properly.  He records anything that goes on wrong. This is analogous to the control unit function.

This analogy helped the students to have an idea of the laptop's working before they get to know its real functioning. Tuesday: Ngarendare Secondary/Lewa Primary At Ngarendare, I had time with teachers whom I helped prepare their time table and duty rosters using the Abiword. They saved these documents to a USB flash-disk belonging to a teacher and I had them print out as hard copies for use in school.

I then proceeded to Lewa Primary whereI had the teachers practise on the Gnumeric spreadsheets that they had learn‘t about the previous week. On this day, I taught them how to copy and paste the contents of the columns and also how to find totals and the mean of the data. They also learnt the auto-filling function so they wouldn't have to repeat the formula in all the cells where the totals are required. We then worked on how to insert rows and columns and how to sort the data.

Wednesday: Subuiga Primary Today it was raining terribly and I was challenged just going to the place... but I remembered the times, when I was younger, when I used to walk to school in the rainy season and I recalled a day when I had been rained on all the way from home to school ... and thought that the day for Subuiga was actually better!

I taught the teachers to switch from Sugar to Gnome and back and tested them to see how much they could remember - but they had no difficulties at all! I also taught them about the Tuxmath activitiy in Sugar and how it could help the students who had problems in arithmetic. They saw how simple the game was to learn and use, and that it had different levels for different classes. Thursday: Conservation Education Centre Today was Heroes Day (or Mashujaa Day), the Kenyan public holiday for celebrating the heroes who fought for our independence. Friday: Leparua Primary I arrived some minutes to lunch and had to wait for the end of the lunch break. The afternoon lesson was very short since it stared at 2:00 pm and endeed at 2:30 pm when the truck arrived. I am arranging on how the session can be extended by trying to organize the teachers to minimize the time they take for their lunch.
