Not specific to OOo but relevant to any educator who wants to adopt
OOo
as an educational project rather than simply as a set of productivity
tools.
/me wonders if people remember Toffler's Third Wave....
What I have in mind when it comes to OOo and education is getting
students to work on it collaboratively. Method as such is left
unspecified, but one must in the end work with others and
collaborate, and this, I daresay, is a skill that will come in very
handy in the years ahead.
