4 Linux-forward schools

To meet future demand for IT skills, we need to bring open source into the PK-12 classroom today. These schools are leading the way.

Thanks for this timely article. I recently taught a couple of Python classes where one student was ADHD and another was dyslexic. I was looking for help with the dyslexic student in particular. Too often these students are shut out of technology classes because their conditions are viewed as disability rather than a different ability that can actually complement and inform their gift to the community. I am mildly ADHD (self diagnosed).

Great article. I didn't realize the Zorin OS is from Ireland. I switch everyone to Linux that I can. It's the best option for most people but especially seniors.
