Why More Schools Should Look Into Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| Some people who favor widespread switches to 
| Linux feel that it could put inexpensive 
| laptops in the hands of kids, and help usher 
| in more paperless schoolwork, which might be 
| a money saver. One thing's for sure: There is 
| enough disagreement about Linux in schools 
| that probably the best way to experiment with 
| the idea is for teachers and administrators 
| to try test cases with Linux on their own. As 
| Cassidy reports, some teachers in cash-
| strapped school systems are already doing 
| just that. Sometimes it's surprising how much 
| impact a technology decision made at the 
| departmental level can really have.

Andalusia deploys 220,000 Ubuntu desktops in schools throughout the region

,----[ Quote ]
| The Andalusian Regional Government, Spain,
| wanted to improve access to IT in schools
| throughout the region. It asked IT services
| company infrastructure to connect 2,000
| schools in Andalusia. Isotrol implemented
| 220,000 Ubuntu-based workstations in more
| than 2,000 schools throughout the region.
| Now, technology plays an integral role in
| delivering a more dynamic learning
| experience in schools across Andalusia.
| Teachers and students can share information
| quickly and easily, while each school
| receives dedicated support from a
| centralised support service.
