I just saw the TED talk by Sugata Mitra that Tavish posted. Just mindblowing! No more canings. :) I suggest a different testing strategy for the future. Give the students all the resources they need to know, all the time. As Mr. Mitra says, knowing is obsolete. Let the students consult books, computers, the Internet, each other, and anyone they can get to help, maybe even the teacher ( if she/he is not careful ). FOSS is one of those things. Children of the future should be given tools they can evolve to their needs and share with others. The slogan is: By any means handy! The test will be that of imagination, not knowledge. There will be no right answers, because the test-creator won't assume that he/she is smarter than the test-takers. In fact, we should give these wonderkids all the resources they need to imagine, let them self-organize, and sit back and expect to be blown away by their creative solutions. They will come up with things we can't imagine! The current education system doesn't account for the Flynn effect. We have to acknowledge that our kids are going to be smarter than us, and inhabit a very different world than us. Mr. Mitra even suggests that children are an emerging new species, more evolved than Homo Sapiens. What a thought! Orson Scott Card's highly relevant book, Ender's Game is being made into a movie.

[Ilugc] Jitsi - Free Software alternate to Skype
There are news all over Internet about Microsoft spying on its Skype users. You can read a lot like this http://www.zdnet.com/is-microsoft-reading-your-skype-instant-messages-715388/ Whether the news is true or false, people use skype, because they do not find a perfect alternative for it. We have Ekiga, When I tried last time, it does not even established connection properly. Now I recently came through Jitsi - A Free software under GPL which looks promising and available cross-platform. If this functions well, it has the potential to replace Skype, and I have just installed it and will try and post my review on it sooner or later. If this is worth, then we have to promote this tool as a community behind Free Software and Open Source.

Re: [Ilugc] [OT] PC Configuration for Web Development
How much does your netbook setup cost in all? Also, a netbook mostly comes with a small display (less than 14, if I am not wrong). If so, won't it be uncomfortable developing a web app on a netbook, assuming that you are spending at least 10 hrs a day in front of it? A decent netbook will set you back by around 20k. If you are going to use it for so long in a day, get an extra monitor, keyboard and mouse. Use them when desk bound. I've foun such a setup useful even while I use a larger laptop for work. More screen real estate makes a lot of sense while tailing logs and writing long docs ;-) ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
