Search Find Learn

Michelle Gallen's e-learning blog.

Why Search Find Learn?

Because I feel that Search, Find, Learn describes how we learn in the 21st century - we Search for what we need to know, we Find it, and we Learn it. This blog explores how technology is helping us do that.

Open Source for Schools

http://www.opensourceschools.org.uk/ is a new site that aims to promote, review and document usage of open source software and tools in UK schools, although I imagine they're happy to include Irish schools.

OSS offers a space where schools can share their experiences of open source software, with the aim of increasing confidence and knowledge levels - they hope thes factors will drive uptake.

Open Source For Schools is just in beta, so they're happy to listen to all your feedback and will welcome and support new members.

They're seeking Case Studies from schools using open source, so if you're in this space, share your knowledge.

I don't know if the UK or the Irish governments have strategies on driving the uptake of OS software in schools...seems like something that might just have got missed out...the government pushes the use of computers in school, and loads classrooms with computers, but is there a strategy on what software and tools are useful?
