[school-discuss] Linux in Education Workshop

[Gary Frankenbery <gfranken@grantspass.k12.or.us>]

I have been approached to teach a Linux in Education Workshop to a group 
of K-12 Computer Science/Business teachers in Oregon (sponsored by an 
industry group--the program is called Superquest).  This Workshop will 
not take place until Summer 2003, so I have plenty of time to prepare.

Generally the students are very computer savvy educators who are largely 
ignorant regarding Linux and Open Source Software.

I'm a Linux Mandrake, KDE guy, so this is the systems software my students 
will install and use as representative of Linux.  The class will last for 
5 days, from approximately 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM each day.

I'm not an LSTP(Linux Terminal Server Project) guy, as I prefer so place 
applications on the Linux Workstation's Hard Disk, and store student data 
and files on the server.  So, I will be dealing with both Linux as a 
workstation and Linux as a server.

I have some plans and ambitions regarding curriculum for the class, but 
thought I'd throw it out to the ListServ --> any suggestions?
