Lessons Plans for Teachers Using Free and Open Source Software

This site is dedicated to collecting and cataloging lesson plans for classroom teachers interested in moving beyond mere document production and really tapping in to the promise of technology integration and education.

Introduction

Free and open source software (FOSS) is software that's free of the restrictions usually placed on proprietary software - such as the right to copy, distribute or modify. As such, it is also usually free of charge. The FOSS movement is strong and growing and there are many high quality educational applications available. This site is devoted to collecting and organizing lesson plans for teachers interested in using FOSS.

Contributors are welcome and encouraged.

Now we're collecting lessons for a presentation at ["TIEColorado"].

Please create the lessons themselves as [http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/HelpOnEditing/SubPages SubPages] of this page.

Requirements

All lessons found on this site are tied to software application. In order to use any lesson, you will first need to secure a lab with the appropriate software installed. Wile some applications are available for Windows, many will only be available for Linux. It may be to your benefit to explore options for setting up a Linux based lab. In general, these will be of a lower cost than traditional labs and can even be assembled out of older equipment. Visit the [http://www.edubuntu.org/ edubuntu] website for more information.
