Why teachers should boycott ICT (except Linux)
,----[ Quote ]
| Nearly forgot to mention the Microsoft-Cabinet
| Office's latest Child Protection wheeze I
| blogged about last time.
|
| Have a care if your children have access to
| IE8 and CEOPS; at a click you could be in the
| frame as a potential abuser.
|
| This little list will do for the time being.
|
| If I were still a teacher I would be mightily
| fed up with the above.
|
| If we want to extend learning using modern
| technology, as most politicians seemto wish to
| do, then we need to sort out how it should be
| used.
|
| Meanwhile teachers: band together and boycott
| ICT that'll give them a fright.

60 Thousand Russian Teachers Will Learn Linux by the End of 2009
,----[ Quote ]
| As part of the initiative, Russian schools have already received CDs with
| Linux and other open-source tools distribution kits so that such solutions
| could be installed even in the schools with no broadband internet access. But
| of course such a large-scale deployment is not that easy to carry out without
| help of qualified professionals who can make it possible.

- From Russia with Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Be sure Microsoft will put up a fight, because it will:
|
| 1. Make clear to the customer what he pays for and how much he pays for
| it;
| 2. Make it virtually impossible to impose its terms to hardware
| manufacturers;
| 3. Give customers a real alternative, backed by a major company;
| 4. Expose the vulnerability of its business model in the 21st century to
| the shareholders in a way that cannot be misunderstood;
| 5. Create a dangerous precedent - if here, why not in the US?
