K-12 Open Source Community

Free and Open Source Software in K - 12 Education

Welcome!

Welcome to the K-12 Open Source community! Free and Open Source Software programs, including Linux, provide great opportunities for K-12 education--practically, financially, and pedagogically.

Please introduce yourself, and then join the discussions around the use of Free and Open Source Software in K-12 schools.

As the community is getting going, please consider starting groups, especially around specific software programs.

Also, be sure to give any suggestions for the community here!
