Open Source and Education

There is a great article over at Teach Paperless about using Open Source software and services in schools to save money. It is well worth the read. Check it out.

Free stuff for students

I just found this web site today. The site is College Tips and Resources, specifically for online courses. 

This article has a list of 69 Free or Open source tools for students.

I use many of them myself, as do many other teachers.

I really like this list as it contains a lot of great resources.

 Share it with your students.
