[DS-discuss] Teacher Plus... free software

[Frederick Noronha (FN)]

TEACHER PLUS (address@hidden) of July-August 2003 carries an 
article titled 'Freeing computers in schools'. It says:

        Computers are used in many schools these days, as a
        teaching/training tool as well as for administration
        purposes. Most schools, however use, expensive 
        software that not only takes away a huge chunk of the 
        school budget, but also limits the number of
        teaching/learning tools that can be used in school.
        This article discusses Free Software and why
        Free Software makes sense in education....

A cartoon on the front-page has a hand-raising student ask the teacher: 
"Now that we have free software, can we also have free periods?"
