Youth For Seva Workshop on using FOSS softwares for Teachers
1) Though many schools don’t even have electricity let alone computers it won’t be very long before laptops etc become easily available for cheap.
2) All those older computers that are being replaced by newer ones can be used for free by teachers, schools and students.
3) By the time we can build up free learning resources for children - similar to wikipedia but more targetted as learning sites- the other resources will come through somehow.
Good to hear that YFS is doing all this and more.
Thanks to Naren Ramakrishnan for sending the YFS website and info.
