there has been quite a bit of talk on the lists about schools, school websites and teaching lately - this weekend it's not only Glastonbury Festival but also The Sunday Times/Wellington College Festival of Education http://www.festivalofeducation.org.uk/ in Crowthorne Berks - lots of speakers including apparently Bob Geldof but guess who is the main festival partner - Microsoft.
This is why I think it really is very important we look at ways to bring FOSS into schools and show teachers how good the alternatives to MS are. Out here in Herefordshire our next event is 17 sept software freedom day and we usually target schools and get a few teachers and educators through on the day - but I am wondering this year if we can make more of an effort to get schools and students involved - it's a tricky date as it falls just after the summer holidays - but if anyone has any good practical ideas that we can implement locally I'd love to hear them - and if they work then other groups can pick them up.
