Re: Economic Recession and Tech Budgets

< Are there any resources that you can recommend aimed at K-12 Linux
usage?>

Not as many as I would like...

The best I've found are:=20

The K-12 Open Minds Conference http://www.k12openminds.org/

The National Center for Open Source in Education...particularly the Free
Software for Schools catalog http://ncose.org/node/3 (click the link on
the page to view the catalog online)

A nice article on Open Source alternatives:
http://whdb.com/2008/the-top-50-proprietary-programs-that-drive-you-craz
y-and-their-open-source-alternatives/

I also like the FLOSS group on Classroom2.0 ning:
http://www.classroom20.com/group/freeopensourcesoftware

I run a blog on our experience with Linux:
http://linuxlaptops.blogspot.com

I'd love for folks to post more!

Take care,
Alex
