Hi everyone,
I've just posted the first of a two-part blog essay about free and open
source software (FOSS) and its role in education. The first part
explores the basics, offering definitions of open source software,
freeware and free software, which many people erroneously use
interchangeably. My next post, which will appear on Wednesday, will be
an in-depth interview with award-winning edtech expert David Thornburg,
who's just published a new book about the role of FOSS in education.
Part one can be found here:

Part two will appear this Wednesday on the blog's homepage:
