Why we need Edubuntu to succeed
,----[ Quote ]
| This evening I had a great chat with a guy named David. He’s a 9th grade
| science teacher in Minnesota. He’s working on a project called Growing
| Communities Of Scientists in his school. He plans to use a set of “computer
| enabled science classrooms” which embed thin clients into a student group
| workspace. David’s also got a great blog where he’s been journalling his
| experience. This means students have access to computers without interfering
| with they’re normal learning/social area. A common sight I’ve seen in most
| computer labs is individual students with hardly any working space and fairly
| isolated from each other and the instructor. It’s sort of like a cubicle
| effect. For sciences were you’re trying to get a lot of hands on instruction
| it’s rather difficult.

Edubuntu: Linux for education
,----[ Quote ]
| In Venezuela, for instance, "there are several movements that were
| originated by a new law, Presidential Decree No. 3390, where all
| public institutions must use open source software," says Efrain
| Valles, a Venezuelan educator, Ubuntu user, and open source
| advocate. However, Valles says that uptake in the education
| sector is slow. "Our schools are just beginning to use
| computers. There is no one computer per classroom thing;
| remember, we are a Third World country. Technology is an
| import and very expensive, so the reach to schools is
| happening mainly because of stuff like Edubuntu."

Controlling and managing Edubuntu users' desktops

| The community-driven Edubuntu project aims to create a version of Ubuntu
| specially tailored for use in primary and secondary education. Perhaps the
| most useful feature present in the Edubuntu OS is the Linux Terminal Server
| Project environment, whose applications are not limited just to eduction.
