Linux in Education: Athens Schools
,----[ Quote ]
| All in all, Athens schools are a picture perfect
| example of how you don't need expensive proprietary
| hardware, big powerful machines, or even proprietary
| software to create the perfect learning environment,
| or to properly run a school. As I said, the bigger
| schools would be wise to learn from Athens and use the
| example they've set as a guide to create their own
| Open Source learning environments.

Introducing your Child to Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| The Linux operating system offers an excellent
| learning opportunity for children, whether for
| educational software and games, programming, or
| general computer skills. Charles Profitt, a K-12
| systems administrator, shares with SmartBean the nuts
| and bolts of introducing kids to Linux. His guidelines
| for the why, what and how of getting going with Linux
| and open source computing at home are lucid and
| helpful.

Athens schools promote 'open source' computing
,----[ Quote ]
| Athens was invited because it is one of few districts in Michigan teaching on
| Linux operating systems. Linux is a cost-free alternative to proprietary
| systems, such as Microsoft Windows or Apple's Mac O.S. While some open source
| software applications, such as e-mail programs, come at a cost, Linux is
| almost entirely free. Windows or Mac systems can cost up to $400 per machine.
|
| Open source means the source code for an operating system cannot be owned and
| is available for free.
