This post has been due for quite some time now, but I finally got to writing it. This is about teachers and the tools they're using. Mel Chua has attended the K12 Open Minds conference some time ago and transcribed a session on open source software teachers recommended. From this list, I've composed a wiki page, listing which applications have already been packaged and which not. The latter one gives us about twenty apps that are currently not in Fedora. So, what's next?
- Just go here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/K12_Open_Minds
- Look for an unpackaged app you're interested in.
- Do this (you'll probably know that already).
- If you run into trouble, just shoot the education-list an e-mail!
I also added it to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Education/Apps#Education_software - I wonder if we might just need to have a packaging party / FAD at some point for the Education SIG once we build up a little more momentum.
