Are you a K-12 educator or student? Do you use Linux or other open source software?
The Northwest Educational Technology Consortium is conducting an independent survey on the use of open source software in K-12. Please take this survey to share your experiences with other educators. We're also looking for early adopters to interview and schools to visit. The survey should take less than 10 minutes, at: http://www.netc.org/surveys/oss/oss.asp The Northwest Educational Technology Consortium (NETC) is a federally funded center at the Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory (NWREL), a private, nonprofit institution. We are not affiliated with any company or open source project. See: http://www.netc.org and http://www.nwrel.org Our project is Open Options: Making Decisions about Open Source Software (OSS) for K-12. We aren't trying to duplicate existing resources for technical implementation. Our goal is to provide pragmatic information and decisionmaking tools. We want to honor educators' efforts to meet their stakeholders' needs, with or without open source. The Open Options site will launch in late winter 2002 at http://www.netc.org. It will be a public resource, and will include the survey results. We welcome your suggestions for the site. How should educators decide whether open source is right for their schools?
