What is Kinesthetic Intelligence?
The "body smart" student's learning is a physical experience;
the
ability to control one's body movements and to handle objects
skillfully. The "body smart" students use their whole body or
parts of their body to solve a problem. They learn best through
physical activity such as dance, hands-on tasks, constructing models,
and any kind of movement. They are able to manipulate and control
objects, as well as express their ideas through movement.
Students with strong body-kinesthetic intelligence enjoy, and have
success, working with keyboarding, mouse, joystick, and other devices
for movement, scientific probes and microscopes, video production -
skits, dances, sports, role playing, demonstrations, Animation - Flash,
Claymation - sequence of movement, handheld you can carry everywhere,
Virtual Field Trip - WebQuests using and creating, Robotics - other
construction kit projects, Digital still and video cameras - skits,
plays, role playing, demonstrations

There is no one best way to find FOSS projects that will best serve your needs. There are several rules of thumb you can use to help you make informed decisions.
* Do you already have something that will do the job well?
* Does the program do what you want?
* Do you care about the ideologies behind free software and open source software?
* Do you know other people that already use it?
* Is the current version over a year old?
* Are there user support mailing lists you can join?
