Blog Chronicling Indiana School’s Move to Linux
Linux @ BHSN is a new blog covering the move to Linux at one of Indiana’s high schools.
Introducing his blog, Simón Ruiz writes:
“Bloomington High School North was approached by the State last year and offered an Indiana ACCESS grant in order to outfit 4 English classrooms with computers to be powered by Linux. They paid for the computers and the desks, and we paid to wire the classrooms with electricity and data. For the last half of last year, then, we had 4 classrooms equipped with computers.
The teachers were impressed enough with it that they banded together and submitted a grant proposal to the same program and we’re in the middle, right now, of being outfitted with another 5 classrooms, bringing the total to 9 classrooms and 279 Linux workstations (30 students and 1 teacher per room).”
