Open Source resources
This workshop had an immense amount of Open Source resources available for schools. Sounds like the Peter Laimins at the DaVinci Academy has really embraced Open Source. His school would be a good model for schools interested in getting started.
Website of the day so far: www.pjassociates.biz It's a consulting service, but they're willing to give your school a computer with Linux and Open Source tools on it for you to experiment with. That's right, you don't have to set it up yourself. Ask for it, get it and play with it! What a
fantastic opportunity for educators to experience these tools for themselves. Jim Kidston at Elgin Academy is doing just that and had extremely positive things to say about the experience. Free computer, free software, the only investment you need to make is time.
