Q. What does the tech setup look like in your grade school?

A. If any proprietary software is involved, it probably looks something
like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nineteen_Eighty-Four

Don't know what they have now but they are going for the very expensive and 
monopolistic smartboards.  A whiteboard/touchscreen. I am doing what I can to 
avoid it.
A quick search shows some hit and miss DIY replacements no profesional solution.

Well, not my kids, but my very own school looks like this:All Mircosoft Windows 
PCs, all "upgraded" to Windows 10.They all have free software solutions 
pre-installed, like Libre-Office, but those are only used by me.The Computer 
have the tendency to be very slow even though, they have good CPUs and turn 
themself off for no reason whatsoever, but what else is to expected by a 
Windows.The schools i have went to before had all Microsoft Windows, ranging 
from Windows XP to Windows 7, and of course they were also very slow.They 
however didn't even have Libre-Office, but I didnt bother back in the day, 
because I didn't even know, what free software was. Had to teach this myself 
years later.The Lessons are tailored for Microsoftprogramms, all but me are 
using Microsoft Office.
I'm from germany and i am pretty sure, that every average school here looks 
like this.

  I am developing a ready-out-of the-box, open source virtual remote desktop 
platform and would like to investigate its deployment in school systems.  My 
assumption is that most schools are using proprietary technologies (Mac/PC) for 
the most part and that a switch to Linux based platforms would bring cost 
savings.  However, I know very little about the current technology setups in 
schools near me – let alone schools elsewhere in the U.S. (where I'm based) or 
the world.  I would like to hear from people who have kids, what does their 
school technology setup look like? Thanks!  --
