Thank you for posting this one. Although I am not a teacher by profession I do work with teachers, and I expect most of us know a teacher or two. I will be passing this information on as well as looking at it for myself. I believe education would best be seen as important to all who value Linux and FOSS. Eschool news, http://www.eschoolnews.com reports that with federal monies being offered for education reform "experts" are swarming like cockroaches (they were less graphic). A news item lately indicated that only 24% of those taking the ACT scored high enough to indicate they are ready for college level study. Of course SAT fanbois....I'm kidding; just a little sophomoric humor. I sat for ACT and SAT in my time (no GRE though). Education and FOSS definitely should share a place at the table. |

I agree completely on FOSS and Education. There are more and more free resources for Teachers every day. Its integrating them into a lesson plan on a moments notice that is the fun part..;-) |

As a homeschooler, free is always appreciated. I love Project Gutenberg. |

Scott, this was a valuable story for me as well. I use Wikimedia Commons for images, but I hadn't thought about sounds available in the same way. |
