Low power, flat-screen nirvana with Open Source software
,----[ Quote ]
| It started with the announcement by HM Gov that for 16 year-olds the Basic
| Skills component of GSCE Maths, English and ICT have been dropped. They were
| due to be introduced because employers complained (and Ruth Kelly agreed in
| 2005) that students could get good GCSE's in Maths, English and ICT but be
| functionally innumerate, illiterate and unable to do more than use MS Office.

Open Source In Public K-12 Schools?
,----[ Quote ]
| I'm a computer science major who has been recently getting involved in local
| grassroots politics in my county and state. I've been discussing the idea
| with some of my state legislatures of submitting a couple of resolutions,
| opening up to the idea of switching to open source software in our state's
| K-12 schools. I'm looking for more information/literature about this topic,
| open source solutions in public K-12 education, pros and cons, studies that
| prove or disprove many of the assumptions of open source and linux in public
| schools.
