2 Cents Worth » Happy Birthday Jude

2 Cents Worth - Happy Birthday Jude Mr friend Jeff sent me this link from David Warlick with the following quote: "We desperately need...… we may not survive without...… a generation of young people who are imaginative, inventive, fearless learners, and compassionate leaders. Yet, what can we say, as educators, about the students we are producing. We can prove that they can read, do basic math on paper, and they are able to sit for hours filling in bubble sheets.

The Ubuntu Linux distribution brings the spirit of Ubuntu to the software world. As I look to learn another OS - this may be the one I start with. I especially like the fact that it will work off of a bootable CD - letting me try without reformatting my PC or Mac. I heard about this from TheTechTeachers podcast.
